Product Description
This original Schwinn binder full of Reporters covers the glory years of the Schwinn Stingray! It misses the introduction of the J38 in 1963, but hits the rest of the big timeline points such as the introduction of the Orange Krate (released in the 68' catalog but announced in the 67 Reporter), Stik Shift Fastback, Rams Horn Fastback, Glow saddles, etc. Of course it covers lightweights such as the Paramount, Varsity and, Continental, as well as cruisers and kids bikes, etc.
The Schwinn Reporter newspaper came in the mail to bike shops every month, and provided the shops with invaluable information related to when new catalogs were coming out, Schwinn racing team info, new models, rushes of new Schwinn dealers and competition, tips for running your shop, service clinics, sales analytics, and so much more. There are countless photos of bikes such as the Paramount, Stingray, Twin, Fastback, and many more. Aside from the Schwinn goodies, there is a bunch of period advertisements from bicycle and non-bike material.
The newsletters come in the original Schwinn Reporter binder! At this price, it's about $5 an issue!
