I just came across this great timeline of collected news on Arnold, Schwinn & Company. Plenty of information all on one site.

Excellent info, especially on the early bikes.

My son doesn’t yet realize what great bedtime stories he’s going to hear this winter.

As I've promulgated for the last several years this makes pretty clear that Schwinn did not offer any 1895 models and, in fact, the first catalogs depict the first year 1896 models.

When I was reading that last night it filled in a couple gaps for me. Very interesting timeline of events.

Good way to look at it.
They gave it their best shot, and had a pretty good run while it lasted.

Great Article! ... Truely gave me more incite on "The End" of Schwinn U.S.A. Built Quality in 1982.
Hard to believe that September 2023 marks 75 years of Ignaz Schwinn's Passing.
Thanks for posting.
