Here is an illustrated guide to Classic Schwinn Bicycles from 1895 to present. Detailed text and 250 B&W photographs depict the most classic Schwinns including pre-World War II Aerocycles, Motorbikes (Cycleplanes), and Autocycles; post-war Panthers and Phantoms; '50s and '60s middleweights; '60s Sting Rays and Krates; and every other Schwinn. Special models including the Whizzer and Cycle Truck are featured, as well as the contemporary classic reproductions. There is even a chapter for the up-and-coming lightweights. Star ratings are used to stratify each model's classic status. You will also find information on serial numbers and identification methods. This book offers an historical perspective of the entire spectrum of classic Schwinn bicycle lineage.

Nice book, February 13, 2011
By T. Downing (Vermont, USA)

This is a nice book if you are interested in Schwinn bikes. Being new to the hobby, we wanted to read as much about Schwinn bikes as we could. There seems to be plenty of information on most of the models and variations. Lots of photos, but I kept asking myself why they weren't in color. That would have earned a 5-star review. A good addition to the bike library nonetheless.

Lots Of Learning For A Cheap Per Page Price., October 23, 2011
By Mary S. Spangler (Schaumburg, Illinois)

The printing was dim in spots but still readable. Most everything was covered. I went to the Schwinn museum just before it was pieced off and I bought some of their old donations. Our Whizzer Club in Illinois puts motors on heavy weight bikes to ride 35 M.P.H. . Riding a normal bike is like trying to crank a diesel down the road. Fastbacks and lightweight racers are fun and you get a cheap education in this book. The Stingray book is also worth the extra money if you wish to buy them on ebay. These things are placed in collections because the owners are too old or are too large to ride them. I always get stopped several times during a ride by stunned people suddenly remembering their youth. New bikes are a thousand dollars? Real men ride steel?

 One of the better Schwinn books, but does not cover it all, December 13, 2011
By Gabor Takacs

I love Schwinns, and was looking for a good Schwinn book to read while my wife watched reality shows. While this book does go over many different models, it does not cover them all. What it has is very good, but a chronological list of all Schwinn models would have been a great addition.
I did like the section of serial numbers. Really spelled out how to find the year your Schwinn was made.
Overall a good book, that could have been great if it just covered a little more
