1976; Schwinn Bicycle Company – Chicago, IL Original Schwinn Bicycles 1976 dealer catalog, issued as a compact softcover booklet featuring full-color photography and detailed specifications for Schwinn’s mid-1970s lineup. The cover depicts a group of riders passing Independence Hall in Philadelphia, paired with bold "Schwinn Bicycles ’76" branding; this is, of course, reference to the nation’s Bicentennial that year. Interior pages include model photographs, component breakdowns, pricing tables, and accessory listings, intended for in-shop reference rather than consumer giveaway. The rear cover includes Schwinn’s printed limited warranty information and a dealer ownership label indicating prior use by Spok’N’Pedal Cyclery of Niles, Illinois, adding direct retail provenance. Handwritten notations and circled prices appear within the catalog, consistent with active use in a working bicycle shop environment.
Shows minor cover wear and light edge handling. Interior pages remain intact and legible, with shop-use markings present. No missing pages observed.
