I have a big update. In the end, I made 0 parts swaps. I rebuilt BOTH the varsity and the super sport. I have to say that I am glad that I did, because the varsity absolutely sparkles in the sun shine. Pictures don’t really capture it. I will likely sell the varsity, but it has a new lease in life!

I still need bar tape for the super sport and cables for both…. But essentially I am done. I removed the rust by complete disassembly and then soaking the steel parts in vinegar. I followed with grease and wax to prevent rust in the future.
