Campus
Green is an odd Schwinn color, and was the shade of my first 10-speed,
a late '60s Varsity. It's almost the same as British Racing Green, commonly
found on sports cars from the other side of the pond. I think the Paramount
and the PeaPicker Krate Stingray were the only models the color looked
good on (it's the contrast with the chrome that makes it work at all).
My first racing bike was a '72 P13 in black that was too big for me. Perhaps
this is the bike that I should have purchased back then. At least I can
enjoy it now!
