WTB Schwinn Dealer sign
Hey all,
Just looking for stuff for the mancave. Love Schwinn red white and blue dealer signs. I prefer early 80s and older.. big or small... Let me know if you have anything.
thanks
John

I know this doesn't help, but I saw this sign for $1900, and it got sold. It's just beautiful to look at, and even better in real life.

What about that recent posting from someone here selling new old stock Miyatas from a recently shuttered Chicago bike shop? Chances are an old Chicago shop has some vintage Schwinn paraphernalia, might be worth a phone call.

You do realize this is a pretty big ask, right? The big neon sign is a good example, from what I have seen it was a good deal, none of them are ever cheap, I'd like one too.

Thanks for your concern. They are out there. I would actually prefer the red white and blue schwinn sign that is usually outside on the building. Most of the time they range between 400 to 600 for one panel.
What Id really love is the "Ride A Schwinn its fun and Healthy" sign that they had cut out of wood and painted white.

I had a neat Schiwnn beach towel, copyright 1973, that I bought off the wall of a dealer in the mid-70's; and I'm not really even a Schwinn fan. I was planning to donate it to a worthy BF member, whoever that might be -- but over the winter my wife started using it as her shower wrap when at the gym. Alas, the 40+ year old fibers could not handle the use, and it started shredding, so into the trash it went recently. Sorry. Would possibly have made a neat wall hanging.
