Sir; my name is Mahlon.  The bike is a 1965 Schwinn Varsity 10 speed. **** I’ve had it since new, although it was stolen and repainted while I was away at college. I did a frame up restoration. The bike is original equipment except for the seat and the front derailleur, which I wore out. Everything except the frame was made overseas; Swiss Weinmann brakes and French Sprint wheels and drive. I had the front head badge decal reproduced but it’s a very close match. The bike retailed for $66.95 and you could splurge on a chrome fork for $4 extra. ****
