I did go look at another set, a guy on CL that fixes and sells several.
He had a Murray in pretty good shape, good fit that was $75 but then had a Schwinn (Chicago) Varsity , red, good fit and pretty good shape, new tires , for $95.
The guy was telling me that the Schwinn was the older bike but better made with out the plastic gears, etc. good solid bike. I almost bought it . But wasn't prepared to spend $95 . I do want something that will ride good for a few years, to get up to 15 mile trips or more... and it might go to my son (at college) this fall.
And then will fix up the mountain bike I have for the camping trips.
I'm still looking at little but might consider that Schwinn varsity.
Thanks for the comments y'all.

One is a Free Spirit 10 speed bike, from the 80s . the person doesn't know for sure, but I searched google and find that Free Spirit is a bike sold by Sears and looks to be good. Do any of you know anything about Free Spirit?
And one mention of a Free Spirit bike from the 80s mentioned that it had Shimano gears. I've heard that on any bike, if it has Shimano gears or parts , then that's a good thing to look for.
How do I know if it's Shimano parts or not?? Is there a marking or a 'look'?
THANKS Y'ALL !!!!
