Why Gears?
In recent years cyclists around the world have come to realize the advantages of bicycle gearing systems. Proper gear selection allows the average rider to expend a relatively consistent amount of energy even though terrain and weather conditions may vary.
Here is a general breakdown of the various gearing system and how they can best applied to your cycling needs.
Coaster Brake...
Single gear bicycles are most comfortably used on level ground for short rides.
3-Speed Hub Gears...
3-speed gears are most comfortably used for short rides on somewhat uneven terrain. Low gear on the 3-speed hub can negotiate hilly terrain.
5-Speed Derailleur Gears...
With 5-speed derailleur equipped bicycle cyclist can begin touring moderate distances and can negotiate most slopes.
10-Speed Derailleur Gears...
10-speed bicycles are designed for touring. More sophisticated 10-speed equipment will allow the rider to travel longer distances with relatively less effort. 10-speed bicycles are meant to negotiate hills without varying the rider's steady cadence.
15-Speed Bicycles...
Alpine gearing, as it is sometimes called, is primarily intended for cross-country or extremely long distance rides and is preferred for touring in mountainous areas.
This listing is a general explanations of bicycle gearing. FOr a more complete analysis of gearing system you may find a visit to your Schwinn Dealer helpful, or write for information to:

- Proper Bicycle Fit and Adjustment Proper Frame Fit
- Rider MUST be able to straddle bicycle when standing
- Proper rider Adjustment
- Knee slightly bent
- Handlebar stem approximately level with seat or slighty lower
- Pedal at bottom position
The first step towards proper bicycle fit is selection of the proper frame. Schwinn bicycles come in a wide variety of sizes and most Schwinn lightweights are available with different frame sizes to ensure that the purchaser is able to buy a bicycle with a frame which is neither too large nor too small but just right.
A rider's proper frame size is usually the largest frame which he can comfortably straddle with both of his feet on the ground as in the illustration on left. Women can use the diamond style frame to determine the approximate size of the corresponding ladies' model bicycle. Proper bicyle fit is necessary for the utmost in safety and handling.
Once the proper frame size has been determined, the next step is to adjust the seat to its correct height. The most efficient and comfortable pedaling is accomplished when the rider's leg, while he is seated on bicycle, is not quite fully extended when the ball of the foot is on the pedal. The rider must be seated on the saddle and the pedal MUST be at the bottom position as shown in illustration on the right.
The handlebar stem should be adjusted to the same height as seat or slightly lower than the seats, as shown in the illustrations.
Note: On Schwinn bikes a maximum height marking appears both on the seatpost and handlebar stem.
Sting-Ray and Junior Models
On Sting-Ray and Junior models the rider's toes should touch the ground while straddling the seat. The handlebar grips must not be higher than the rider's shoulders when he is seated on the saddle. Proper fit is essential to your bicycle riding safety.

The frame... The heart of the bicycle... which is best for you?...It depeds. Shopping for a modern bicycle can be a confusing experience. As the sophistication and the variety of hi-performance equipment has grown, so have the question of just what is right or wrong for the rider. Basically, the answer is simple: It depends upon what sort of bicycle rider you are. How much will you use your new bike? What kind of terrain will you ride on?
Schwinn-who makes over 60 diferent models- has just the right bike for you. From durable lightweight styles with electro- forged frames that will take the roughest roads to finely tuned lug-frame models that serious cyclist can ride for miles and miles without tiring.
What's best for you? Ask your Schwinn Dealer... tell him how you plan to use your New Schwinn...he'll advise you what's best.
Lugged Frames...
Schwinn and Schwinn-Approved lugged frames are built of thin, lightweight chrome-moly alloy tubing set in "lugs," held in rigid jigs and bronze welded or silver brazed by hand. Luegged frames are usually made with butted tubing that is thicker at the ends and thinner in the middle for added lightness. Lugged frames construction is generally prederred by touring and competition cyclists. Schwinn Super-Lite lugged frame models range with fron 20 to 32 lbs. (except Paramount Tandem)
Flash Butt Welded or Electro-Forged...
Exclusively Schwinn. Built on special machines that butt weld the tubes together under extreme pressure. Head and crank fittings are fitted with extrutions for stronger joints. Fine finishing of the welds provide the ultra smooth and luxurious finish of the final product. Electro-forging is extremely strong and durable and provides an especially rigid frame for maximum utilization of the rider's energy output. Schwinn electro-forged frame lightweight models is adult sizes range from 33 to 30 lbs.
What about bicycle weight?
Just how important is the initial weight of the bicycle? Wherever serious cyclists gather you hear the discussion start... many consider it of utmost importance in the selection of a bike. However other factors besides weight alone make the difference in riding comfort and pleasure.
Tires... their size, pressure, and rolling resistance make major differences in the ease of pedalling. Studies show, and most bike authorities agree, that consideration of good bearings, good brakes, and proper tires can be much more important than "weight" in just how a bicycle performs and feels to its rider. Visit your Schwinn Dealer... get his advice; choose the one that's right for you and the type of riding you'll enjoy.
Choose a schwinn that fits your riding pleasure
A visit to your nearby Factory Authorized Schwin Dealer will convince you more than anything else that Schwinn has not one, but a selection of bikes for whatever type of riding you enjoy... hand-made, professional quality Paramounts for those who want the very best...

Schwinn''s Paramount models may weigh as little as 20 lbs., depending on equipment.

The heart of any bicycle... the single most important part, is the frame. In many Schwinn Super-Lite models sophisticated steel alloy tubing such as lightweight Reynolds 531 permits the use of thinner wall material without sacrificing strength. The tubing is double butted for greater strength at the frame joints.
All Super-Lite bikes have rigid, responsive fram construction. Schwinn Super-Lite Bicycles - depending on model - offer the discerning cyclists a choice of lightweight lug frames or the world recognized, responsive Schwinn one-piece hand brazed frame.
Components
Throughout the world, a vast selection of gears, hubs, lugs, brakes, cranks, and other components are manufactured in a variety of materials, from titanium to ultra-light alloys that have strength without weight.
Selection and incorporation of the proper component mix is an art practiced by Schwinn design engineers. The proper marriage of hub, gear, crank, derailleurs, tires, wheels, etc., can result in a smooth operating bicycle that will deliver a ride you never thought was possible.
And More
The proper frame, and the selection components is not the whole story. In the manufacture of your Schwinn Super-Lite Bicycle nothing is spared provide the best available in each model's price range.
The Super-Lite Schwinn Superior, for example, is hand-rubbed and finished with four-coats of baked- on promers and enamels.
