Some of the bikes mentioned are iconic and others are more in the “unobtainable” category for me when I was young and these bikes were new. I loved my root beer brown Varsity in the first few years I rode it and it was a true icon. When I rode it to high school there were many who had them in various colors. It wasn’t until maybe the mid seventies (after HS) when my eye wandered away from the icon and towards a more practical bike for longer , faster riding. I knew about the PX10 , a friend had one but it was the lighter Japanese bikes that caught my eye , not any icon bike.
