Schwinn

The Schwinn system...
the most complete line of bicycles and accessories in the world.

The Schwinn System will give you all the bicycle you ever need- whatever you need. The Schwinn Bicycle Company was founded 86 years ago in American tradition by men of vision, high standards and dream.

Adolph Arnold and Ignaz Schwinn believed that the bicycle was an important part of the American way of life. They were determined to macufacture products that would be numbered among the finest in the world.

The fourth generation of Schwinns managing the company still believes that just the finest deserve the Schwinn name. From the original location rented building in downton Chicago, producing 25, 000 units per year, Schwinn is now a major bicycle manufacturing, distributing and sales organization that sells more than 1,000,000 bicycles a year.

What's behind this growth? A company that cares.

Part of the Schwinn tradition has been a progressive engineering program which continually improves quality, comfort, performance and funstion whithin the vanguard of style and appearance. The Schwinn heritage brings consistent value and performance to every bicycle which bears our name.

Schwinn authorizes dealerships are now franchises, but privately-owned, independent businesses authorized to sell Schwinn's complete product line.

A Tradition of Achievement

Schwinn's major contributions in improving the bicycle include the coaster brake, balloon tires, full-floating saddle and seat post, fore-wheel expander brake, knee- action spring fork, shoe braking units and handlebar-mounted gear changer, as well as improvements in design of five-and ten-speed derailleurs and a front fork positive retention device of quick-release hub equipped bicycles.

Schwinn has also initiated industry trends in new bicycle designs: the Aerocycle, the Cycleplane and Autocycle in 1934; the Paramount racing and touring line in 1938. In 1963 a major development was the famed Sting-Ray bicycle - the bike that dramatically changed the cycling habits of young America.

Schwinn's Sting-Ray gave a major new product to America's bicycle industry and set the stage for the current popularity of BMX bicycles have been used by Olympic competitors for over 30 years. They are also a dominant factor on the winner's podium in championships throughout the world.

A System, not a line

Schwinn is a far more than a line of bicycles. It is an entire system that begines woth a comprehensive line of bicycles- more than 100 models in all - that can supply answers to every cyclist's need. Added to this is a "total" line of parts and accessories. More than 6,000 items are available, including caliper and hub brakes, changes and derailleurs-cogs, frames, hubs, racing, touring and BMX items, tires and tubes, bike care products, wheel goods, rims and spokes- to name a few.

Schwinn doesn't just seel you a bicycle- Schwinn offers you a complete choice in fitting your to your personal needs. The element of the Schwinn System that may mean the most to you is the independent Schwinn Dealer in your neighborhood. Part of a nationwide network of trained bicycle specialists, your dealer is The Schwinn Company to most of America's cyclists.

Full-service dealers

Schwinn distributes its bicycles, parts and accessories exclusively through approximately 1,800 independent authorized dealers all over the country. A Schwinn Dealer is a full-service dealer in every sense of the word. Each dealer has been completely trained in assembly and maintenance.

Schwinn Dealers can provide you with the broadest possible inventory of original equipment and optional accessories, as well as parts to maintain your bicycle. Schwinn Dealer personnel have been trained in state-of- the-art bicycle service and repair. All Schwinn Dealers are independent businessmen.

As such, they work a little harder to earn your respect, confidence and ultimately, your business. Their aim is not just a sale, but a continuing relationship with their customers.

Schwinn promises a five-point consumer protection plan that includes a free-30 day check-up and a limited warranty with no time to limit on materials and workmanship.

Few in the bicycle business go this far in promises for their product. Schwinn insists on it. See page 63 for details of the warranty.

A new standard for quality touring bicycles

Men's frame sizes

D411 21"

D451 25"
Colors: Smoked Pearl

See the complete history of the Schwinn Sport.

The Super Sport represents a classic lesson in contemporary touring chrome-moly frame design in all five key frame dimensions that govern handling characteristics. These are rear stay length, top tube length, fork rake, seat mast angle and head tube angle.

The longer 16 3/4 inch rear stays improve the Super Sport's tracking ability under heavy loads and enable the weight from the rear panniers to be shifted slightly forward for greater stability. The relatively steep 73 degree parallel frame angles and 23 3/16 inch top tube are unusual for the traditional touring bicycle, but Schwinn engineers like these steeper angles like these steeper angles for quicker steering, livelier ride and better weight distribution.

The 3/4 inch fork rake rounds out the bicycle's geometry without sacrificing the comfortable ride of a stiffer fork configuration. This machine sets high standards as fine touring bicycle.

A new standard for quality touring bicycles

Standard equipment: handlebar cushiones, water bottle and alloy cage attached to brazed-on fittings- the cleanest, sturdiest way to attach them.

For those who enjoy an X-tra Lite bike but prefer the comfort and convenienve of a touring saddle and upright handlebars, here is a new Schwinn model that makes good sense- the LeTour Tourist.

Cycling Tips from our Team

Whether you're cycling just for fun, to keep in shape, for transportation or are a serious racer, knowing the fundamentals is mighty important. The more you know, the greter your chances for really enjoyable, trouble-free riding. Good basic knowledege of cycling fundamentals, combined with regular practive (and, naturaylly, the right equipment) combine to make you a winner- whether you ride in your neighborhood, around town, or on hot BMX tracks.

Members of Team Schwinn, the Schwinn Corporation's racing team, are devoted to fundamentals. The most important ones have set down by team members to hep you get the most out of your new Schwinn bicycle.

Pedaling

Pedaling should be a smooth, easy, circular motion - not up and down. Power should be applied through the entire stroke, and the ball of the foot should be centered over the pedal splindle. Toe clips and straps, available from your local Schwinn Dealer, greatly improve your ability to maintain a smooth, even cadence with power through the entire stroke. These relatively inexpensive accessories are often the first thing purchased by somone interested in serious cycling.

Gearing

Gearing is very important in keeping pedal cadence as smooth as possible. Spinning-top competitors rarely dip below 90 plus rotations per minute- is the most efficient and least fatiguing way to pedal. A cadence this fast may seem uncomfortable at first, but stick with it. Your improved performance will be worth the effort.

If you find yourself spinning too fast with Little or no resistance against the pedals, or you are breathing too hard or can't remain firmly seated on the saddle, shift to a higher gear. On the other hand, if you can't keep a smooth, even cadence or your knees begin to hurt, you might like to try a lower gear.

Riding Position

You should be loose and comfortable the bike. The handlebars should be within comfortable reach and the saddle should be positioned so that there is only a slight bend in your knee when the pedal is in the lowest position. Experiment with different hand positions on the bars.

A commonly used grip is acquired by placing your thumb over the top of the brake lever with your hand to the outside. In this position you can easily reach the brake levers, and steering is easiest from the outside of the bars. On long rides, however, it is advisable to change your hand position frequently to avoid fatigue.

Cornering

Quickly is not as easy as it may seem. It does require some practice to make sure, positive turns with a little loss of momentum as possible. Pick your line through the turn before you enter it and sick to it once you are committed. This is particularly important if you are riding with several others in a close formation.

Lean the bicycle into the turn with your outside leg in the lowest pedal position to keep from hitting your inside pedal on the pavement. Also, shift your weight to the outside pedal to lower your center of gravity. This position will be the most stable suring the turn. If is necessary to slow down, as it often is, brake before entering the turn. This method ensures smooth turns.

Riding the Rought Spots

Bumpy roads and loose gravel create problems for bicycle. By getting up off the saddle, you can distribute your weight more evenly ove both wheels and make the bike more stable in rougher road conditions.

Braking

Bicycle brakes are designed to provide quick, fade-resistant stops. It is best to learn to anticipate stops to avoid panic situations, however. Get into the habit of watching traffic and road conditions around you. That way most of your braking situations will be easy braking situations.

In wet conditions, stoping, distances are increased dramatically, so your speed must be adjusted accordingly. Apply your brakes lighty and frequently. This prevents water from building up under the pads and possibly making your bicycle difficult to stop. Also, lightweight high pressure bicycle tires have a tendency to be particularly slippery in wet weather.

If you must ride in the rain, please use the greatest degree of caution and common sense.

In long downhills, brakes will heat up if applied continuously. Therefore, it is a good idea to pump them slightly rather than apply a continual drag. This will keep them cool and help keep your bike under control.
Above all, enjoy your Schwinn bike. Cycling is a fantastic sport. We hope you enjoy it is much as we at Team Schwinn do.
Good Cycling!

Schwinn Cruisers and Middleweights

26-inch wheel machines for the forest trails, racing or just cruising.

Whether riding down forest trails, on BMX race tracks or just rolling around the town, these Cruisers are absolutely state-of-the-art.

Schwinn engineeres were able to take their leading BMX technology, adapt it to a 26-inch wheel format and develop Cruisers that can more than hold their own anywhere in the world.

Schwinn Town and Country Tri-Wheeler

AT2-8
Colors: Sky Blue

For exercise, errands and ease of operation, nothing fits the bill like a sturdy Tri-Wheeler! You can feel secure at all times aboard the Tri-Wheeler - it's easy to get on and off, very stable and perfect for a relaxed pace.

Differential drive, 3-speed, parking brake, heavy duty front hub and Schwinn-built steel rims are all standard equipment. The Schwinn Tri-Wheeler, also preferred for light industrial use, makes its rounds quietly and efficiently.

Security and large basket capacity for shopping or business delivery

Here is a key example of the superiority of the Schiwnn Town and Country Tri-Wheeler. Most tri-wheelers distribute the power from the rider through only one wheel. But the Schwinn Tri-Wheeler is equipped with a differential-type drive transmission which allows both wheels to drive. This results in better control.

Front view of the Town and Country Tri-Wheeler. Upright handlebars and soft saddle provide both easy handling and a pleasure ride.

The spacious, fully detachable vinyl-located wire basket holds a load of packages and comes with convenient handles for easy carrying.

You're in the Catbird's Seat on the Girraffe's unique Schwinn saddle, six feet off the ground. And you're supported by a handbuilt frame, one-piece crank and tubular steel rim. When you spin the Giraffe's diamond tread block pedals before a crowd, you're also the center of attention.

A word about quality

A product, like and individual has a character. It can be good, bad, indifferent, or, perhaps too often, nondescript. The character of a product reflects the character of its maker and the organization behind it.

You can judge the honesty and integrity of an organization by the degree to which it recognizes its responsibility to the consumer. Part of this is willingness to put reputation on the line by replacing defective products or parts which, even with the utmost care and vigilance, occur in production from time to time.

Schwinn Bicycle Company has always stood squarely behind its product and for 86 years has maintained a policy of replacing any part of its manufacture which proved defective either in material or workmanships. The Company has never set a time limit upon this self-imposed obligation. Parts which prove defective are replaced- regardless of the length of time they have been in service.

There is no charge- except for dealer labor after 30 days, or after a year in case of defective frame. See the complete Limited Warranty on pahe 63 of this catalog.

Be sure your bike Fits...

Although it is simple and takes just a few moments, nothing is more important for safety and comfort than making sure you have the proper bicycle fit and adjustment.

One easy way to select your size frame is to take off your shoes and stand astride the top tube of the bike with your feet flat on the ground. If it's difficult, the frame is too big. Another way is to measure from your crotch to the ground and subtract 10-inches.

If you are undecided between two frame sizes, it's best to choose the slightly smaller frame. Schwinn offers a variety of frame sizes in most models so you can choose the frame that es exactly right for you.

Adjustment of the saddle should conform to your height. If the saddle is correctly positioned when you sit on it, your heel should just touch the down pedal comfortably. The saddle angle should be lever or slightly upward with the nose higher than the rear. Before you decide to move the saddle backward or forward, it is suggested you ride a few miles first to get the feel of your bike. The best handlebar height is generally slightly below the saddle.

On all Schwinn bikes, a maximum height marking appears both on the seat post and the handlebar stem.
The schwinn Owner's Operating and Maintenance Manual also offers detailed instructions on proper bicycle fit.
