GTS always pops up with facts. And proof. What’s the big idea?

He’s dragging out his favorite article.
Problem is, it’s from 1959.

He did unwittingly prove my point though.

Hahaha. Yes it is from 59. I was so happy reading it the year didn’t register. Still a cool article. I must concede, even a quickly aging company like Schwinn prolly updated the paint system. A million bikes is a lot to paint . Favorite article…..you sound like my wife clobbering me.

This is a scan from the 1971 Schwinn catalog. I am surprised no one posted it earlier, it is not a rare pic.

don't think they had Photoshop in '71

Do you think the painting process changed? The paint booth was enlarged and they painted more bikes in the same time, but the process stayed the same. The paint didn’t dry any faster.
