I love Schwinns and most of my bikes are Schwinns but while looking through the 1982 catalog I found some funny stuff. Mostly typos but this pitch for the Continental with the heavy electro forged frame is hilarious and kind of sad at the same time. Typo is from the catalog also.
Now in its 22nd year, Schwinn's Continental is onyl six pounds heavier than the typical 30-pound sport bike.
"Only 6 lbs heavier"
They had some cool road bikes in '82 though. Would love to have a Voyager or Superior. Here's a typo describing the Paramount.
The Schwinn Paramount is custome designed bicycle. More than 1,000 options in frame and componently are offered. Because of spcae limitations, we have not listed all available components here.
Probably some other good ones in there. If anybody sees a good one post it up.
