When you're thinking bicycles, you're thinking Schwinn. Now let's explore the many avenues one might take to get the Schwinn experience they desire.
Schwinn Vintage Bicycles are definitely high in popularity among collectors. From the early no-name bicycles at the turn of the century to the many famous Schwinn's of the 20th century, Schwinn has always come out on topside.
There's the Aero cycle from the 30's, the Phantoms of the 40's, Cruisers from the 50's, the ever popular Sting-Rays
of the 60's and 70's followed by Road bikes, BMX bikes and English racers. What an impressive first 100 years!
The eBay website is a great place to find vintage Schwinn's. Check out the many Vintage Schwinn's

Reproduction Schwinn Bikes were made in the mid 90's through the 2000's and are a great way of getting the vintage experience without having to restore and spend a ton of money. The first reproduction bike made was the Schwinn Black Phantom in 1995 celebrating Schwinn's 100 year anniversary. Others that were produced are the Schwinn Panther Beach Cruiser and Schwinn's Sting-Ray Series including the well sought after Krates.
New for 2013 commemorating 50 years of the Sting-Ray is the first all chrome frame, the "Fritz 50 Sting-Ray." Schwinn designer, Al Fritz, who designed the first Sting-Ray joined together with Schwinn early in 2013 to design the "Fritz 50 Sting-Ray." Only 500 were made. Sadly, Al Fritz passed away in May 2013.
These reproduction bikes are true to the originals but consist of updated components. The popular stick-shift on the Sting-Ray models is omitted and replaced by a thumb shifter on the handle bar. Many of these and other Schwinn Bikes can also be found on eBay.
