are you saying schwinn wrong?

[SJ_BIKER]

I met a guy recently who pronounced schwinn as sue-winn. i beleive it is actually Sssh-vin as ignatz was from germany. but the common one i think we all hear is shoe-win ....have you heard of other variations?

It's actually pronounced Sch-wine...as in "swine"

I think you have it mispronounced. It's actually pronounced Swinn in the country where they are produced now.

I thought it was pronounced HUFFY over there.

scweeen. I hear a lot of people at shows asking for "scweeens"

Interesting as I know Richard Schwinn (think Waterford) and he pronounces the family name Shwinn with a silent c. I assume he knows how to pronounce the family name correctly. Roger

I usually pronounce Schwinn as "ooooh looka that one...cool"

Ok, but are you spelling shwinn right? How many shcwinn's for sale do you see where the owner can't even spell swchinn?

Look at craigslist, there's so many misspellings of schinn. Everytime I see a schwing ad it just cracks me up.
