Schwinn Project...not a bike

[marching_out]

So this has been on my list of things to do since I purchased two in-store Schwinn advertising pieces last fall. I got both pieces at a local auction for $25. There were several Schwinn pieces most of which were way out of my price range, including a neon Schwinn sign that went for around a grand. I thought I did pretty well just walking out of there with these...lots of money in the room. Whoever had these before me bundled the letters in the original store slogans. I did some interweb research and verified the slogans as they were bundled. I picked the colors based on some of the old Schwinn sign colors I ran across. I haven't started the second sign yet but will post picts when I get it finished. Curios if these slogans are rare or not. Let me know what you think

Second sign finished last weekend. Glad to have them both finished so I can start on the next bike!

Super nice job! Garage art at its best! Looks like they just came out of the dealership! Joe

Excellent job! I believe Schwinn started using that slogan in the mid 60's when they were trying to reach adult buyers for their new lightweights.
