As discriminating Schwinn aficionados concur, 1938 was THE seminal year in the evolution of Schwinn balloon-tired perfection !
Let us review, shall we:
- Introduction of the Cantilever Frame, which would serve as the foundation for not only Autocycles, but the B6, the Phantom, and even the Stingray. It all began in this catalog.
- The legendary “Knee-Action” or Springer Fork. Introduced here.
- The ill fated “Double-Duty” Fork is seen for the first time on these pages.
- The beloved Feather Chainguard seen here first.
- A personal favorite, the BC 117.
- A multitude of other firsts; see if you can spot more . .
Thanks for looking !
