Motion pictures studos have been called ""dream factories" and they are that- and more. They make graphic social, religious and historical comment in terms easily understood throughout the world. 20th Century-Fox studio was dedicated in 1928, the first to be designed for sound films.

Since then scores of significant films have been launched from these acress, ranging from "Calvalcade," which won the company its first Academy Award in 1933, through "The sound of Music," which swept the Academy board in 1966. Under the stewardship of Richard D. Zanuck, executive vice president in charge of worldwide production, current enterprises range from "Hello, Dolly!" throught "Che!," about the Cuban revolutionary; "Paton: Blood and Guts," on the contro- versial World War II general, and "Tora! Tora! Tora!," the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

In purchasing any adult or child's bike, choosing the right style and proper size bike are the most important considerations. Even the finest bicycle will not be comfortable or easy to pedal if it is the wrong style or size for its owner (see Proper Fit Chart on page 21), or if it has not been adjusted to fit properly (see Adjusting Your Bike, page 20).

As a rule of thumb, lightweights and speciald models like the Run-A-Bout, Town and Country and Exerciser are suited to the riding needs of adults. Middleweights and Stingray models are designed for the younger set.

The type of riding you plan to do largely determines what gearing you should have. BBikes with derailleur gears are easier to pedal for adults. Coaster brake models are designed primarily for younger children. Derailleur gears greatly add to cycling pleasure, helping you to ride farther, in less time, with less effort.

Multi speed gearing is a must if you ride any distance, over hilly terrain, or against the wind. Single-speed coaster brake models which are slower for neighborhood or distance riding.

For maximum bicycling enjoyment, let your experienced factory-franchised Schwinn Dealer help you choose the bike that's right for you.

Background for the front cover the same of the other pages in this Schwinn COnsumer catalog are from the film set depicting Manhattan in 1890 for Ernest Lehman's production of "Hello Dolly!" at 20th Century-Fox studios, Hollywood, California. The movie set is proclaimed the most ambitious and ingenious effort of its kind ever made.

It rises 12 stories in some places and the elevated railway carries a working steam-driven train. The "Hello Dolly!" complex covers 15 acres, but its most resourceful feature is not visible. It was constructed around 11 studio administration buildings without interfering with their utility.

In a quant lyrical period piece such as "Hello Dolly!" beauty of detail is the name of the game. Every part of the set must be realistic and architecturally consistent. The background of the adjoining picture consits of a horse-car station and a firehouse, authentic and chosen for their eye-catching style.

Millions of satisfied Schwinn owners are telling their friends and neighbors that the few dollars more you pay for your new Schwinn is money well spent. Schwinn bikes do ride noticeably better.

They do "stand up!" They don't "fall apart". The few dollars more a new Schwinn costs are saved time and again in lower upkeep costs. Schwinn is worth more at trade-in time and again in lower upkeep costs. Schwinn is worth more at trade-in time, too! Schwinn owners agree, they tell us and they tell each other- Schwinn bikes are best!

Schwinn Quality FRAME CONSTRUCTION - Look for the "flared" sections where the tubes or "bars" join the specially designed head and hanger sections- just like the base of a tree trunk is flarled where it meets thr ground- to add extra strength at the point of greatest stress. No other frame is built like a Schwinn- tough and resilient for a lively ride- and it's the strongest made! Ask any bicycle dealer.

Schwinn Quality FORGED STEEL FORKS - Tougher, absorbs road shock better than ordinary tubular forks used on most bikes.

Schwinn Quality TUBULAR RIMS - Extra strength double-thickness tubular steel rims, five times more resistant to twist than ordinary single-thickness rims used on most other bikes.

Schwinn Quality BUILT-IN KICKSTAND - Heavy-duty. welded-on, rattle-resistant kickstands-not just clamped on.

Schwinn Quality HEAVY-DUTY CHAINGUARDS AND FENDERS - Heavy gauge steel firmly mounted on heavy, welded-on brockets that stay put and stay tight- nothing firmly to rattle or come to loose.

Schwinn Quality CRANK AND BEARINGS - Strong forged steel cranks, precision machined and mounted on precision made, case hardened cups, cones and ball bearings- for the easiest pedaling, longest lasting bike there is. Compare, and see the difference!

Schwinn Quality PAINT FINISHES - Brilliant, sparkling colors, four coats deep, every coast bakes on, and it stays on- no "quickly" finishes without cleansing, sealing and prime coat.

Schwinn Quality EQUIPMENT- Compare the hubs, pedals, handlebars and grips, saddle, tires and tubes, gears and controls- all fine quality, to measure up to Schwinn's standards of performance and durability.

When you buy a new Schwinn bike from your local Shwinn Dealer, he will see to it that your bike is properly assembled, adjusted and correctly fitted to you so that it is ready to ride from his cyclery.

  • The saddle height should be adjusted so that rider's leg is almost straight when he sits on the saddle with the ball of the foot on the pedal in its lowest position.
  • The handlebar should be set so that the grips are at a comfortable angle. This is usually at a slight downward angle pointing to the rear of the bicycle.
  • Handlers should be located near the handlebar grips- but not touching them. The levers should be positioned below the handle bars at a slight angle outward from the verticle.

It's a wise move to have all mechanical adjustments made by your factory-trained dealer because many adjustments require special tools and knowledge. Onyl Schwinn proveides regular factory training classes for Schwinn Dealers and their bicycle service mechanics - at the factory service school in chicago, and also in major cities from coast-to-coast.

Only Schwinn provides special tools, service equipment and service manuals to help Schwinn Dealers serve you faster, and with greater accuracy. Save time and avoid inconvenience. See your Schwinn Franchised Dealer for the very best in Bicycle service.

Proper Fit Makes the Difference

Cycling enjoyment on a Schwinn bicycle begins by choosing the proper size bicycle, and then adjusting it to your body size. Bike sizes are identified by the size of their wheels and the size of their frames. Wheel sizes are most easily identified by noting the size of the tire. Frame sizes are determined by measuring the length of the frame tubing that goes from the saddle to the crank hanger.

To assure proper fit, first determine your leg length by measuring the distance from the crotch to the floor. This measurement is taken while wearing flat heeled shoes. After determining this length, check the adjoining chart to see which models are available in your size. Once you have selected the style of bike you want, choose the model in the frame tween the minimum and maximum leg length shown. This will allow flexibilty in setting the saddle height.

After choosing the correct size bike, the height of the saddle should be adjusted to the proper height. This height is determined in the following way: Sit on the saddle. Turn the crank so that one pedal is nearest the ground. Place the ball of your foot parallel with the ground. Your leg should now be almost straight. Readjust the saddle height until you arrive at the correct setting.

This position will allow full body leverage on the pedals and full use of the long muscles in the calf and thigh.

Sting-ray, known as "the bike with the sports car look" has revolutionized since its introduced by Schwinn in 1963. It has won the raise and captured the imagination of youngster of all ages across the U.S.A. This is the fun bike that features a short frame, high rise handlebars and long, bucket shaped saddle. This design gives the rider an exciting combination of features for quick maneauvers, fast starts and short radius turns.

A lightweight version of the Sting-Ray, called the Fastback was introduced in 1966 and quickly became a best seller. This is the 5-speed model that combines the easy pedaling of a lightweight with the maneuverability of the original Sting-Ray. It also achieves an added thrill with the addition of 5-speed gears and a fast acting Stik-Shift gear shift. For distance rides, short hops, or for just plain riding fun, the Schwinn Fastback is great.

In 1968, Schwinn opened up a new field of cycling enjoyment with the unveiling of the revolutionay designed Orange Krate Sting-Ray. In just a year this exciting 5-speed Stik-Shift model has become the most talked about sting-ray in "bikedom." This year, there are four how new color versions of the krate to choose from. Schwinn krate models feature the combination of a 20" rear wheel with a 16" front wheel, with styling similar to the racing cars found on drag racing tracks.

Schwinn middleweight bikes are designed to stand up under hard use. Middleweight frames are of sturdy construction for strength and durability. The wide, lw pressure nylon cord tires absorb road shock. The sturdier, heavier electro forged Schwinn frame is designed to withstand rough treatment.

As a result of this concern for quality, Schwinn's bikes have gained the reputation for being the strongest, truest running and longest-lasting bikes ever built.

This quality construction is carried through to Schwinn's double-thick tubular rims, dur-a-roll bearings, rattle-free built-in kickstand, extra-strength fender braces, luxurious chrome plating, and four-coat baked on colors.

Middleweights, because of thier extra strong construction, are slower and heavier to pedal than Schwinn lightweight models. However, they will hold up longer under hard use and abuse.
