WHY GEARS?
In recent years cyclists around the world have come to realize the advantages of bicycle gearing systems. Proper gear selection allows the average rider to expend a relatively consistent amount of energy even though terrain and weather conditions may vary. Here is a general breakdown of the various gearing systems and how they can best be applied to your cycling needs.
Coaster Brake . . . Single gear bicycles are most comfortably used on level ground for short rides.
3-Speed Hub Gears . . . 3-speed gears are most comfortably used for short rides on somewhat uneven terrain. Low gear on the 3-speed hub can negotiate an occasional hill.
5-Speed Derailleur Gears . . . With a 5-speed derailleur equipped bicycle cyclists can begin touring moderate distances and can negotiate most slopes.
10-Speed Derailleur Gears . . . 10-speed bicycles are designed for touring. More sophisticated 10-speed equipment will allow the rider to travel longer distances with less effort. 10-speed bicycles are meant to negotiate hills without varying the rider’s steady cadence.
15-Speed Bicycles . . . Alpine gearing, as it is sometimes called, is primarily intended for cross-country or extremely long distance rides and is preferred for hill climbing.
This listing is a general explanation of bicycle gearing. For a more complete analysis of gearing systems you may find a visit to your Schwinn Dealer helpful, or write for information to: Consumer Relations Department, Schwinn Bicycle Company, 1856 North Kostner Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60639.

[The “Cycle Gearing Chart”, two tables set side by side that give for each Schwinn lightweight and tandem gearing (from the Speedster and Breeze with coaster brake to the 15-speed Paramount) the wheel size, front and rear sprockets, gear figure and inches of travel in one revolution of the pedals, above a two-column text headed “Why Gears?”. Model names are printed in red; the run-in headings of the text (“Coaster Brake”, “3-Speed Hub Gears” and the rest) are set in bold. The last column of the right table runs into the binding shadow at the gutter but every figure can still be read.]

PROPER BICYCLE FIT AND ADJUSTMENT
PROPER FRAME FIT
Rider MUST be able to straddle bicycle when standing
PROPER RIDER ADJUSTMENT
Handlebar stem approximately level with seat or slightly lower
Knee slightly bent
Pedal at bottom position
The first step towards proper bicycle fit is selection of the proper frame. Schwinn bicycles come in a wide variety of sizes and most Schwinn lightweights are available with different frame sizes to ensure that the purchaser is able to buy a bicycle with a frame which is neither too large nor too small but just right.
A rider’s proper frame size is usually the largest frame which he can comfortably straddle with both of his feet on the ground as in the illustration on left. Women can use the men’s style frame to determine the approximate size of the corresponding ladies’ model bicycle. Proper bicycle fit is necessary for the utmost in safety and handling.
Once the proper frame size has been determined, the next step is to adjust the seat to its correct height. The most efficient and comfortable pedaling is accomplished when the rider’s leg, while he is seated on the bicycle, is not quite fully extended when the ball of the foot is on the pedal. The rider must be seated on the saddle and the pedal MUST be at the bottom position as shown in the illustration above on the right.
The handlebar stem should be adjusted to the same height as seat or slightly lower than the seats, as shown in the illustrations.
Caution: At least 2 inches of both the seatpost and handlebar stem must remain inside the frame and fork stem after adjustments are made. On Schwinn bikes a maximum height marking appears both on the seat post and handlebar stem.
STING-RAY® & JUNIOR MODELS
On Sting-Ray® and junior models, the rider’s toes should touch the ground while straddling the seat. The handlebar grips must not be higher than the rider’s shoulders when he is seated on the saddle. Proper fit is essential to your bicycle riding safety.

THE FRAME…THE HEART OF THE BICYCLE…
WHICH IS BEST FOR YOU?…IT DEPENDS.
Shopping for a modern bicycle can be a confusing experience. As the sophistication and the variety of hi-performance equipment has grown, so have the questions of just what is right or wrong for the rider. Basically, the answer is simple: It depends upon what sort of bicycle rider you are. How much will you use your new bike? What kind of terrain will you ride on? Schwinn—who makes over 60 different models—has just the right bike for you. From durable lightweight styles with electro-forged frames that will take the roughest roads to finely-tuned lug-frame models that serious cyclists can ride for miles and miles without tiring. What’s best for you? Ask your Schwinn Dealer . . . tell him how you plan to use your new Schwinn . . . he’ll advise you what’s best.
LUGGED FRAMES . . . usually built of thin, lightweight chrome-moly alloy tubing set in “lugs,” held in rigid jigs and bronze welded or silver brazed by hand. Frequently made with “double-butted” tubing that is thicker at the ends and thinner in the middle for added lightness. Lug frames are often found on lightweight touring and track bicycles.
FLASH BUTT WELDED OR ELECTRO-FORGED . . . built on special machines that butt weld the tubes together under extreme pressure. Head and crank fittings are fitted with extrusions for stronger joints. Fine finishing of the welds provide the ultra-smooth and luxurious finish of the final product. Electro-forging is extremely strong and durable. In effect, the frame when completed is one continuous piece of steel.
WHAT ABOUT BICYCLE WEIGHT?
Just how important is the initial weight of the bicycle? Wherever serious cyclists gather you hear the discussion start . . . many consider it of utmost importance in the selection of a bike. However, there is a great deal of misinformation about weight which confuses the issue. Many other factors besides weight alone make the difference in riding comfort and pleasure. Tires . . . their size, pressure, and rolling resistance make major differences in the ease of pedalling. Studies show, and most bike authorities agree, that consideration of good bearings, good brakes, and proper tires can be much more important than “weight” in just how a bicycle performs and feels to its rider. Visit your Schwinn Dealer . . . get his advice; choose the one that’s right for you and the type of riding you’ll enjoy.
CHOOSE A SCHWINN THAT FITS YOUR RIDING PLEASURE
A visit to your nearby Factory Authorized Schwinn Dealer will convince you more than anything else that Schwinn has not one, but a selection of bikes for whatever type of riding you enjoy . . . hand-made, professional quality Paramounts® for those who want the very best . . . lightweight lug-frame models: Traveler®, LeTour® and Super LeTour 12.2 . . . 5 and 10-speed styles . . . Continentals®, Varsities® and Collegiates® . . . for men, women, boys and girls . . . there is a Schwinn bike just right for you.

Many cities, like Chicago, provide extensive well marked bike routes. Here, cyclists ride along the Magnificent Mile, Michigan Avenue. It’s one of the many streets comprising Chicago’s Bikeway network. Thousands of club cyclists take advantage of the city’s scenic spots . . . . for fun and recreation as well as commuting to the job.

SCHWINN®…81 YEARS OF QUALITY, PRECISION, AND PRIDE MEAN MORE RIDING PLEASURE YEAR AFTER YEAR
Every Schwinn bike starts on an engineering draftsman’s drawing board. Here, designers create new styles, new features, and new models . . . Schwinn precision starts here.
As important as the initial design in the creation of a fine Schwinn bicycle is the quality of the materials used in each and every part. From the selection of metals from durable steel to special chrome-moly alloys, to the constant inspection of components… nothing is left to chance.
Specialized equipment microscopically inspects the quality of materials that are used in the manufacture of Schwinn tubing.
Schwinn’s research and test lab is unique …nowhere else in the industry is such a tireless search carried on for bicycle improvement.
Testing equipment of the most sophisticated complexity is used to maintain Schwinn quality. Here, the image of the smallest part, sections of steel, and bearings can be magnified up to one hundred times.
Four coats of the finest baked-on primers and enamel make the Schwinn finish world famous. Here, the second coat is applied electronically by specially designed equipment.
Wheels start here where the rim mill turns out Schwinn tubular rims . . . far stronger and more durable than ordinary single thickness rims.
Hubs are laced by hand. Spokes are inserted one-by-one. Schwinn quality you can count on.
Assuring product quality from start to finish is the Schwinn goal. Here, carefully selected steels are machined on automatic screw machines in Schwinn’s own plant into bearing cups, cones and hub parts . . . Schwinn quality you can count on.
. . . read through this catalog: every Schwinn bike the best in its class . . . quality you can be sure of . . . value you can rely on . . . Schwinn Bicycles.

NO WONDER THE SCHWINN PARAMOUNT® IS ACKNOWLEDGED “THE WORLD’S FINEST BICYCLE”
The heart of the bicycle, the single most important part, is the frame—and Schwinn hand builds Paramount frames from the finest Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing. Using low temperature gas brazing, the lugs and tubes are silver solder-brazed together to form the finest quality lightweight frame… frequently built to order—made-to-measure to the customer’s specifications.
Once the welding is complete, all joints are smoothed with abrasives to provide a smooth, handsome finish.
Riding stability and riding comfort depend upon alignment and proper frame angles… continuous checking with measuring blocks follow the frame through its construction.
This special aligning table locks the frame in position so that all frame angles, proper alignment, and frame configuration meet Schwinn’s exacting standards.
Nothing is spared to make the Schwinn Paramount the aristocrat of bicycles. Once the frame passes its rigorous inspection and testing it is ready to be painted. Multi-coated by hand to provide a deep, rich, long-lasting finish.
On completion of the frame, a selection of the finest quality components gathered from around the world are assembled.

In between the east coast and California is a great nation to be rediscovered in this Bicentennial Year—by bicycle.

Perhaps no new bicycle design has ever gained such wide acceptance and popularity as when Schwinn introduced Sting-Ray® designed bicycles in 1963.

It’s no secret . . . the unusual Sting-Ray® design provides a new feel of responsive riding, a new level of performance, and a new variety of cycling enjoyment that has made it a standard among the country’s young riders. Sting-Ray® is Schwinn’s exclusive trademark. Accept no substitute.

HOW YOUNG FOR A TWO-WHEELER?
Frequently Schwinn Dealers are asked by concerned parents, “Isn’t my child a little young for a two-wheeler?” Recognizing the protective interest of parents, Schwinn has designed the Pixie and the Lil’ Tiger bicycles for riders as young as 2-years-old. The important factor is the size of the child. If he or she can manipulate a conventional “trike” . . . he or she can—with even greater safety—ride a two-wheeler fitted with training wheels. The possibility of upset is minimized, and the knowledge that the child has a bike like “big brother’s and sister’s” adds a measure of self-confidence. When the child is ready, graduation to a genuine two-wheeler is easy. Simply remove the training wheels (Cycle Aids) and away they go!
