Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I had to tell someone! I finally was able to get my website working (The Many Faces of Schwinn). I have an analog brain in a digital world. Everything comes REALLY slow for me, and I'm to cheap to pay someone else to do it.

URL this and TLS handshake that and WOW!!!

It's been a struggle, but I'm finally getting there. You can go look at it now, but I can't take payment through paypal yet. A couple more days and I'll have that fixed, maybe about the same time I get the books.

How much is devoted to the bikes besides the head badge? I understand that this is mainly about the different head badges but just wondering if it’s 50/50 or just the several different Schwinn models that was sold? Sounds like it was a labor of love and will look into getting a copy. Thanks

It's close to 50/50, almost as many pages of bikes as badges. Each chapter is a different company. At the beginning of the chapter I have a page with the different styles badges that certain company used, along with examples of a bike or two with the badges on them, and some history of the company that sold them. There are 50 companies in the first book, and each company had their own badge or badges. It's 7/8" thick, 311 pages, 211 of which are the glossy color photos of bikes and badges. I think you'd love it. Thank you. Barry

Here's some of the bicycle photos in the book.

Thank you, I amaze myself how much I love this stuff. I feel like a little kid sometimes. "HEY! GUESS WHAT I FOUND OUT! COOL!"

I love reading a sharing history. I did good in two classes in school, math and history. I got A's in those two and flunked the rest. Ha Ha Ha
