- I finally got my big bike together! A few weeks ago I found a beat up Schwinn Varsity road bike (1970's era) for $20 at the Memory Lane bike swap meet in Grand Rapids. I made it single speed and updated it with some straight bars and a few old BMX parts I had lying around. I'm really pumped on how it turned out.

If you're into old Schwinn's or just collecting and restoring old bikes in general definitely check out www.memorylane-classics.com. They have any part for any old bike you can think of. They're nice people and they really know their stuff.
