HI.
I'd like to fix up my '75 Schwinn Varsity. Right now I have wheels ordered (27 1 1/4") and a couple of well reviewed-tubes that resist getting flats. I'd also like to get a new chain and a cassette while I'm at it but don't know where to start. Honestly I don't use more than three gears on this 10 speed and ideally I'd like to remove at least half of them. If that will be a ton of work then I'll just deal with it I guess. I have also considered getting a new rear derailleur. Also, could I remove the front derailleur and just use the back? I'd love to get rid of that shifter I never use.
Any suggestions? I'm not looking to spend much more than about $75 bucks for the rest of the stuff (cassette, chain, perhaps derailleur)..
Thanks!
