How Can I Purchase Discontinued Models From Schwinn?

Founded in Chicago in 1895, Schwinn is a well-known bicycle manufacturer that has been producing bikes for children and adults for over a century. For various reasons, not all of their models are in current production. This does not necessarily mean you can no longer purchase them, though typically you will be purchasing a used bicycle rather than one that has never before been ridden. Consider one of the following methods to obtain a vintage Schwinn bicycle.

Instructions

    • 1

      Search eBay or a similar auction site to see if there are any Schwinn bicycles for sale. Shipping may be expensive, but if you choose a reputable seller, you are likely to obtain a bicycle in good condition.

      Look through your local paper's classified section. It may take time to locate a Schwinn this way, but looking locally avoids the shipping fees associated with on-line purchases.

      Visit your local bike shop. Some bike shops sell used bicycles. If they do not have a suitable discontinued model of Schwinn in stock, ask if they can contact you when one comes arrives.

      Check consignment shops and estate sales, as these are great places to find used bicycles, as well as other gently-used goods.
