[edit] More info?

This page could use a lot more info about the bicycles schwinn made. Particularly it skips over the late 1990s line which included some really incredible models made by Yeti Cycles. I think you should mention the Schwinn Homegrown series and more about the GT era.

[edit]

I think I'll start a page about the Schwinn Sting Ray

This article is pretty good but missing some stuff I remember from the book "No Hands: The Rise and Fall of the Schwinn Bicycle Company." In particular, Ignaz invented a new type of tire that was far more reliable (fewer flats) than previous tire.--Tdkehoe 14:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] info box

I think there should be an info box--user:penubag

[edit] Neutrality and sources tags added July 2007

I added the tags questioning the neutrality and indicating no sources. Right now, the article seems to be editorialising. If some of the more prejudicial statements are true, they need to be sourced. Right now (July 31), there are no sources listed for any of the article's contents. Anchoress 09:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] the name of company

Isn't the early name of the firm actually Arnold, Schwinn and Co. and NOT Arnold, Schwinn Bicycle Co? If this is to be a source of reference like wikipedia often is, the proper name should be used.

The source I have found this is "Schwinn Bicyles by Jay Pridemore & Jim Hurd 1996, Motorbooks International.
