Schwinn Sales West
I live for the CABE
Correct, Maybe I should speak more inclusively.That's interesting. A Google search shows that Diamond is still in business, but it looks like their products are all geared towards industrial applications. Maybe they were like a lot of the U.S. tire companies, when the competition from the far east got serious bicycles weren't enough of a market to be worth the trouble.

When I said Diamond Chain went away, I was referring to the fact that the company exited making the #65 1/2 x 1/8" chain for the bicycle industry. I'm certain there was more profit potential making industrial chain. It would be nice if they still made some "3/16 by 1" and "Block chain" for the restorers, but you know that not going to be their priority. Even then, they were under pricing pressure from off shore. Union of Germany ended up with a lot of Schwinn's business. Union was a quality company, but for an early restoration Diamond is the correct part.
General Motors is still in business, but they no longer manufacture New Departure coaster brakes.
