Today's modern Schwinn 10-speed lightweights and smart responsive Sting-Ray models have cone a long way fron the simple, butrugged bikes of the 1890's.

Bikes all over the world today can point to the Schwinn influence. Schwinn has pioneered for the entire industry with many'firsts' including balloon tire bicycles, electro-forged frames, expander hand brakes, shock absorbing forks, American-madelightweights, and the most popular of styling innovations on hi-rise models, the Schwinn Sting-Ray bikes.

When mom or dad went to the store to choose their first bike it was easy- take the red or the blue one. Today it is a much moredifficult decision.. filled with a sense of adventure and discovery. Bikes are different- sophisticated, some with gears ,sme with handbrakes, but each one designed to fit your cycling needs.

Schwinn bicycle come in three basic styles. Each of these styles has its own advantages for certain types of use, as follows:

Lighweights

Desigend for smoothe handling, added speed and endurance. Equipped with sturdy diamond type frame, narrow high pressure tiresthat reduce road resistance, tourist handlebars, or drop handlebars for increased pedal leverage. Light, fast and easy to pedal.Ideal for sports, touring and recreational riding. Recommended for adults.

Middleweights

Designed for strength and durability. With sturdy frame design to stand up under rough handling by children, wide low pressuretires that absord road shock. Built to last, but slower and heavier pedaling than lightweights.

Sting-Rays

Designed primarily for fun. Featuring hing maneuverability, short turns, quick starts and stops. With small wheels, short wheel-base, high-rise handlebars and long saddle struts. Thrilling to ride, with the same pep and 'go' as a fine sports car.

Special Models

In addition to the three basic styles mentioned, the Schwinn line also includes custom-built Paramount models, tandems, unicycles,convertibles, stationary mdels and Adult tri-wheelers.

Ask your Schwinn Dealer to help you select the best model to suit your needs. And, finally, buy the best you can afford. Yournew bike is an investment that will give you years of outdoor enjoyment. You get what you pay for and with Schwinn bikes you get the very best..Schwinn quality, for over 75 years, the value leader.

When you buy a new Schwinn bike from your local Schwinn Dealer, he will see to it that your bike is properly assembled, adjusted andcorrectly fitted to you so that it is ready to ride.

The saddle height should be adjusted so that the rider's leg is almost straight when he sits on the saddle with the ball of the foot on the pedal in its lowest position.

The handlebar should be set so that the grips are at a comfortable angle. This is usually at a slight downward angle pointing to the rearof the bicycle.

Hand levers should be located near the handlebar grips - but not touching them. The levers should be positioned below the handlebars at aslight angle outward from the vertical.

It's wise to have all Schwinn mechanical adjustments made by your factory-trained Schwinn Dealer. Many adjustments need special tools andknowledge. And a properly adjusted bike means more fun-filled hours of riding, and a mechanically safe bike.

Only Schwinn provides regular factory training classes for Schwinn Dealers and their bicycle service mechanics - at the factory Service School in Chicago,and also in major cities from coast-to-coast. Only Schwinn provides special tools, service equipment, and service manuals to helpSchwinn Dealers serve you better. Save time and avoid inconvenience. See your Schwinn Franchised Dealer for the very best in bicycleservice.

NOTE: After selecting the style of bicycle you want, choose the frame size which is closest to your leg length. The height of thesaddle can then be adjusted about two inches up or down for maximum comfort.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the many variation in bicycle styles manufacturing techniques and the typees of equipment provided, the leg lengthsshown should be understood as only close approximations. The best way to select the right size of bicycle is to visit your local FranchisedSchwinn Dealer and 'try it on for size' under his direction.

..For Height
..For Age
..For Stlye

Cycling enjoyment on a Schwinn bicycle begins by selecting the bike that's right for you , then adjusting it to your body size.Bike sizes are measured by the size of their wheels and also by the size of their frames. The size of the tire will tell you the wheel size. Frame sizes are measured by the length of the frame tubing from the saddle to the crank hanger.

To assure proper fit, first measure your leg length, fromn the crocth to the floor, wearing flat heeled shoes. Now check the chartto see which models are available in your size. Once you have selected the style of bike you want, choose the model in the framesize where your leg length is about midway between the minimum and maximum leg length shown. This will allow felxibility in adjustingthe saddle height. - See opposit page.

But there's even an easier way! Simply visit your nearby Schwinn Franchised Dealer. He's a bike expert who can advise you on the proper bikeselection, size and fit.

Famous Schwinn Quality

Millions of satisfied Schwinn owners are telling their friends and neighbors that the few dollars more you pay for your new Schwinn is money well spent. Schwinn bikes do ride noticeably better. They do 'stand up!' They don't 'fall apart'. The few dollars more a new Schwinn costs are saved time and again in lower upkeep costs.

Schwinn is worth more at trade-in time and again in lower upkeep costs. Schwinn is worth more at trade-in time, too! Schwinn owners agree, they tell us and they tell each other- Schwinn bikes are best!

Schwinn Quality FRAME CONSTRUCTION -Look for the 'flared' sections where the tubes or 'bars' join the specially designed head and hanger sections- just like the base of a tree trunk is flarled where it meets thr ground- to add extra strength at the point of greatest stress. No other frame is built like a Schwinn- tough and resilient for a lively ride- and it's the strongest made! Ask any bicycle dealer.

Schwinn Quality FORGED STEEL FORKS - Tougher, absorbs road shock better than ordinary tubular forks used on most bikes.
Schwinn Quality TUBULAR RIMS- Extra strength double-thickness tubular steel rims, five times more resistant to twist than ordinary single-thickness rims used on most other bikes.
Schwinn Quality BUILT-IN KICKSTAND- Heavy-duty. welded-on, rattle-resistant kickstands-not just clamped on.
Schwinn Quality HEAVY-DUTY CHAINGUARDS AND FENDERS- Heavy gauge steel firmly mounted on heavy, welded-on brockets that stay put and stay tight- nothing firmly to rattle or come to loose.

Schwinn Quality CRANK AND BEARINGS - Strong forged steel cranks, precision machined and mounted on precision made, case hardened cups, cones and ball bearings- for the easiest pedaling, longest lasting bike there is. Compare, and see the difference!

Schwinn Quality PAINT FINISHES- Brilliant, sparkling colors, four coats deep, every coast bakes on, and it stays on- no 'quickly' finishes without cleansing, sealing and prime coat.
Schwinn Quality EQUIPMENT- Compare the hubs, pedals, handlebars and grips, saddle, tires and tubes, gears and controls- all fine quality, to measure up to Schwinn's standards of performance and durability.

The Tote Gote is an off-roadmotorcycle that was produced from 1958 to 1970. It was developed by Ralph Bonham.

History[edit]

Bonham created the Tote Gote to relieve the exhaustion of walking through the Utah mountains while hunting. First called the 'Mechanical Goat', it was renamed to refer to its ability to 'tote' (carry) deer out of the woods while climbing inclines with the skill of a mountain goat.

The first Tote Gotes could reach speeds of only 5 mph (8 km/h), too slow for functional use, and the front wheel rose off the ground when too much throttle was applied. The design was eventually perfected in November 1957. The first Tote Gote was sold on 1 June 1958. After entering mass production, 3,700 Tote Gotes were sold in 1960. The second version of the Tote Gote entered the market in 1959, called the Model A or the 'Scamp'.

Ralph Bonham's father, Bond Bonham, became president of the Bonham Corporation while Ralph focused on research and development. Improvements were introduced, such as rear and side screens to protect the wild game and drivers, and lighting systems. New variants were also created, such as the Loadstar III, a three-wheeled Tote Gote for use in warehouses and plant nurseries; a street-based model called the Collegiate for use on college campuses; a minibike called the Mini Gote; and a shaft driven series call the NOVA.

After producing Tote Gotes for thirteen years, the Bonham Company closed in 1970 and sold its remaining stock of parts. A community of Tote Gote enthusiasts is still active.

Manufacture[edit]

Tote Gotes were painted with a low pressure flow of paint. The frames were placed over a large tub of paint with hoses on either side. The paint was pumped through the hoses while workers directed the flow of paint over the frame. Excess paint ran off the bottom and back into the tub. The frames were rotated while drying to minimize runs. Most were red, fewer yellow, and some green (mostly for the Forest Service). Novas were aquamarine. The paint used was lead-basedSherwin-Williams.

Models[edit]

• B: Chain drive. The original model, also called the model A, the 'Scamp,' and the 'Trail Skeeter'. The Trail Skeeter included louvered sheet metal sides instead of side screens and a 3 horsepower (2.2 kW) Briggs & Stratton engine. The first models used the 'Duster' clutch and continuously variable transmission made by Deepco, originally for snowmobiles. Later models used a similar clutch, by Salisbury.
• P: Chain-drive. As for the later Model B, except with a larger frame, a 5 horsepower (3.7 kW) engine, and an arch design above the clutch mount.

The first digit in each model number is typically the horsepower of that particular model; for example, Model 600 has six (6) horsepower.

• 303 'Collegiate': Street- and trail-based college campus bike. This model had rear taillights as a stock option and optional front headlight. It used a 3 horsepower (2.2 kW) Briggs and Stratton engine and Bonham now produced their own 'Climb-Away' clutch and transmission, with a broader range of ratios.
• 403: Chain drive
• 404: Chain drive
• 430: Chain drive
• 430-5: Chain drive
• 431: Chain drive
• 431-5: Chain drive
• 500 'Mini Gote': Competitor to the minibike movement of the 1960s. This model was designed with children in mind, with chain drive, front and rear suspension. The early models used a 5 horsepower (3.7 kW) Briggs & Stratton engine and the later ones utilized a 7 horsepower (5.2 kW) Tecumseh engine.
• 501 Charger 3-wheeler: Light duty tricycle, for recreation or light commercial use.

• 660 Spartan snowmobile/dune buggy: this was Bonham's version of the snowmobile. It utilized a rear track and front skis. The front skis could be replaced with 8-inch (200 mm) Tote Gote wheels for spring and summer use. They were intended for recreation and patrolling areas inaccessible to road vehicles.
• 700: Chain drive. Only model using flat-cast metal on the swing arm and its mount. Included steel tubing on front of the frame and a mounted teardrop gas tank. 7 horsepower (5.2 kW) Tecumseh. One large seat instead of two separate seats. Similar to Model 500.
• 706: Chain-drive. Briggs & Stratton engine. Climb-Away transmission. Commercial grade 8' aircraft-type tires, resulting in increased stability.
• 750: Chain-drive. Briggs & Stratton engine. Climb-Away transmission. Full suspension, 12-inch (300 mm) tractor tire on rear wheel. A 5.70-8 front tire was offered as an option.
