Add to trolley.Ignaz Schwinn was born in Hardheim, Baden, Germany, in 1860 and worked on two-wheeled ancestors of the modern bicycle that appeared in 19th century Europe.

This classic cruiser features a twist shifter system with 7 speeds.The boom in bicycle sales was short-lived, saturating the market years before motor vehicles were common on American streets.

Depression years Schwinn AeroCycle in Longmont Museum & Cultural CenterAt the close of the 1920s, the stock market crash decimated the American motorcycle industry, taking Excelsior-Henderson with it. In an atmosphere of general decline elsewhere in the industry, Schwinn's new motorcycle division thrived, and by 1928 was in third place behind Indian and Harley-Davidson. He finalized a purchase of Excelsior Company in 1912, and in 1917 added the Henderson Company to form Excelsior-Henderson. Realizing he needed to grow the company, Ignaz Schwinn purchased several smaller bicycle firms, building a modern factory on Chicago's west side to mass-produce bicycles at lower cost. Competition became intense, both for parts suppliers and for contracts from the major department stores, which retailed the majority of bicycles produced in those days.
After traveling to Europe to get ideas, F. Putting all company efforts towards bicycles, he succeeded in developing a low-cost model that brought Schwinn recognition as an innovative company, as well as a product that would continue to sell during the inevitable downturns in business cycles. W." Schwinn, took over day-to-day operations at Schwinn. With no buyers, Excelsior-Henderson motorcycles were discontinued in 1931.
Schwinn officially introduced the Paramount series. The bicycle would eventually come to be known as a paperboy bike or cruiser.Schwinn was soon sponsoring a bicycle racing team headed by Emil Wastyn, who designed the team bikes, and the company competed in six-day racing across the United States with riders such as Jerry Rodman and Russell Allen. To make 2.125-inch-wide (54.0 mm) balloon tires, while adding streamlined fenders, an imitation "gas tank", a streamlined, chrome-plated headlight, and a push-button bicycle bell. Schwinn persuaded American Rubber Co. The company revised the model the next year and renamed it the Aerocycle.
Goodrich bicycles, sold in tire stores, Schwinn eliminated the practice of producing private label bicycles in 1950, insisting that the Schwinn brand and guarantee appear on all products. Schwinn decided to try something different. At the time, most bicycle manufacturers in the United States sold in bulk to department stores, which in turn sold them as store brand models. During the next twenty years, most of the Paramount bikes would be built in limited numbers at a small frame shop headed by Wastyn, in spite of Schwinn's continued efforts to bring all frame production into the factory.On , Alfred Letourneur was able to beat the motor-paced world speed record on a bicycle, reaching 108.92 miles per hour (175.29 km/h) on a Schwinn Paramount bicycle riding behind a car in Bakersfield, California.By 1950, Schwinn had decided the time was right to grow the brand. The Paramount used high-strength chrome-molybdenum steel alloy tubing and expensive brass lug-brazed construction.
Schwinn first responded to the new challenge by producing its own middleweight version of the "English racer". Imports of foreign-made "English racers", sports roadsters, and recreational bicycles steadily increased through the early 1950s. Though substantially heavier than later European-style "racer" or sport/touring bikes, Americans found them a revelation, as they were still much lighter than existing models produced by Schwinn and other American bicycle manufacturers.
The administration noted that the United States industry offered no direct competition in this category, and that lightweight bikes competed only indirectly with balloon-tire or cruiser bicycles. However, the most popular adult category, lightweight or "racer" bicycles, were only raised to 11.25%. In August 1955, the Eisenhower administration implemented a 22.5% tariff rate for three out of four categories of bicycles. The company also joined with other United States bicycle manufacturers in a campaign to raise import tariffs across the board on all imported bicycles.
While every large bicycle manufacturer sponsored or participated in bicycle racing competition of some sort to keep up with the newest trends in technology, Schwinn had restricted its racing activities to events inside the United States, where Schwinn bicycles predominated. In 1961, after a successful appeal by bicycle importers, the Eisenhower tariffs were declared invalid by the Court of United States Customs Appeals, and President Kennedy imposed a new tariff rate at 50% on foreign-made bicycles, a rate which remained in place until 1964. Despite the increased tariff, the only structural change in foreign imports during this period was a temporary decline in bicycles imported from Great Britain in favor of lower-priced models from the Netherlands and Germany.
The Paramount continued as a limited production model, built in small numbers in a small apportioned area of the old Chicago assembly factory. After a crash-course in new frame-building techniques and derailleur technology, Schwinn introduced an updated Paramount with Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing, Nervex lugsets and bottom bracket shells, as well as Campagnolo derailleur dropouts. Aside from some new frame lug designs, the designs, methods and tooling were the same as had been used in the 1930s. By 1957, the Paramount series, once a premier racing bicycle, had atrophied from a lack of attention and modernization.
However, in a ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1967, U.S. In a ten-year legal battle, many of Schwinn's practices were upheld by the courts: judges ruled they had the right to have their bicycles sold by retailers equipped to service the bikes as well as sell them.
