The Schwinn Bicycle Company was established by Ignaz Schwinn in Chicago in 1895 and became the supreme manufacturer of American bicycles through most of the 20th century. The company's rise and fall in fortunes over its lifespan has been widely used to exemplify the events faced by entrenched companies in a dynamic and propelling merchandising environment. There are some REALLY old bikes available to collectors out there. However, the ones I'm used to are the newer ones - the "modern" bikes our parents bought us as kids (I'm an 80s kid).

But I do remember watching TV shows like Wonder Years and seeing bikes such as the Schwinn. I think this is probably one of the most popular brands of bikes available. And the reason? Besides the name I think it has a lot to do with the quality and durability. I mean you can find a Schwinn bike collection from 40 years ago and if the owner kept up with it - it still looks brand new! You have a few different options to choose from if you are looking for a Vintage Schwinn bike.

First off you have the really old school ones like the Stingray Fairlady. You also have what I like to call "racing bikes". Obviously they are NOT racing bikes but you always see bicycle riders racing around on the Schwinn Continental or the Schwinn Vintage Le Tour Letour. Then, you also have the ever popular Beach Cruiser. I'm not even sure if anyone makes these because every time I see one - it has the Schwinn name on it! These bikes are good for new riders, old riders and collectors alike. One of the best places to look is at garage sales, yard sales, and even online! In fact, a lot of the time if you look online you might even get a price break or a break in shipping and handling (sometimes for free).

So take a look around - see what appeals to you. With Schwinn you really do have a world of choices to choose from! Other Vintage bikes you can check out will include the likes of Roadmaster, Hawthorne, Western Flyer, Huffman and Monark. If you are a collector then any of these bikes would be an awesome choice for you! If you really look around you can find plenty of bikes that are still really new - and can be worth a lot of money in the end. Or even if you don't want to do a re-sell you can just keep it for your own personal collections!
