Rebuilding A Schwinn Varsity

Ever since getting a 2009 Schwinn Fastback roadbike for a new recreational hobby, I’ve been wanting to learn more about the mechanics of bikes.. mostly so I can learn how to work on one myself to better do some of my own maintenance.

Working with software for so long made me forget the joy of simple pleasures like turning a wrench and getting your hands dirty.

Anyway, rather than destroy my brand new bike, I decided to destroy and old bike instead… a neighbour of mine had an old 1971 Schwinn Varsity sitting out (who knows for how long) who was kind enough to donate it to the cause.
