This dealer catalog is part of the famous Black Binder series from the late 60’s and early 1970’s. These dealer bicycle catalogs are by far the most detailed of all the bike catalogs and brochures. It dedicates a full page to each model, and to each sub model (each of the Paramount models get two pages per model!) All stock components are listed with model names, down to kickstands, cables, and name plates! It essentially doubles as a parts and accessories catalog.
This was the first year for the much loved Schwinn Krate! A page is dedicated to the Orange Krate, and several more for the other Stingray models.
It includes a bonus of a zone one and a zone two bikes price list.
*All of these collectibles came from a closed Schwinn dealer called Kings Cyclery in Casper, Wyoming that I bought out. Everything was ordered directly from the Schwinn factory.
Condition
Catalog is near mint to mint, with extremely little wear! The category tabs have a couple creases, and the cover has a small pen line mark. Otherwise, no wear to note. Binder is excellent to near mint, with very slight wear.
