I think the Schwinn cruisers were very practical around town bikes. Schwinn made some very nice traditional road style bikes as well. Paramount and Zolare duly accepted, they were not necessarily attractive or light as they could have been. But they were durable, fun to ride bikes. I had a Continental in high school. It did everything it had to do with no complaints about my negligent school boy maintenance. I did not get the Stingray at the time, and still don't get it.
One thing I often wonder is what may have happened had Schwinn been able to hold out in Chicago. Could it have adapted its electroplating machinery to lighter steel? If so, could it have fended off the low cost Taiwanese manufacturers for the practical market? I imagine all the machinery has now been melted down for scrap. In order to answer my questions I would have to build an entirely new manufacturing line.
