SCHWINN BICYCLES, by Jay Pridmore and Jim Hurd
SCHWINN BICYCLES documents the rise and fall and rise of Schwinn, the most dominant bicycle company in American history. To this day, no other company wields a greater influence on the American bicycle scene than does Schwinn. Dozens of terrific archive photos detail the history of the bicycles and motorcycles produced by Schwinn. You'll read about how Ignaz Schwinn and Adolf Arnold founded Schwinn and how Frank W. Schwinn changed the bicycle world with the balloon tire, spring fork, styling and other innovations. This book is a must for the bookshelf of any serious collector. The historical data is invaluable.
