Schwinn Lightweight Pedal ID chart

Maybe it was the Conti that I was thinking of. It's been a long time, but I remember thinking it was an aberration when I ran across it.

I had to check out the information and catalog pics on the SLDB. The 63 Conti illustration has Union pedals and low flange hubs. And it states LF hubs in the catalog. This is something I just now noticed!
 
Interesting stuff already. Looks like the next topic will be hubs. :)

I can do photos for the early union varsity pedals tomorrow if no one has them already.
 
Here are a few more. These I'm certain of what they came from.

#6 1973 Atom 9/16" Sports Tourer still on the TA crank

#7 1977 1/2" Atom mens Sierra

#8 1964 Ladies Varsity Tourist

The number 8 large cap Bow pedal was used from 1960 thru the 1965 model year. The 1966 thru 1969-70? Bow was almost the same but in a small cap version.

Can you please retake a photo showing the essentials in one photo shot so I can use it above.

Thanks!

Not sure what this indicates if anything but some of the early ATOM pedals have different spindles. Some are dark grey and some are silver.

Here are 63 varsity pedals

Do you know years of usage on these and the other ones?

I notice the 63 varsity's have what look like Union end caps, is this a factory Schwinn pedal?

THANKS!

Let more info on these new additions come in before we make changes to the first post. Obviously I have to photo edit.

Yup, that splians it. Was wondering. Post 1965, the collar for the cap is expanded out-side of it, Pre, the collar is inverted.
