There's several of us here who appreciate the Varsities & Continentals for their historical place in US cycling and their durability and quality. I also like keeping my '75 Continental just as it came off the showroom floor including the steel rims. I have changed out the seat, but otherwise it's original stock and it's a blast to ride.
