Great blog post!! I'm sure the photos don't tell the whole picture but it
looks like a relatively small facility. When I think of Schwinn, I don't
necessarily think small. It stands to reason that they've downsized
considerably but I was still thinking of a massive workshop.

Hey Chris,
Thanks alot, it was a really cool visit. Richard told me the whole facility
was 8,000 sq ft. I was shooting w/ a 55mm lens so everything looks fairly
compact in the frame. The layout gave plenty of room in each of the
stations and it was very well organized. When we walked around we
JUST like one of those Chinese factories where one factory spits out the same
frame for a bunch of different brands!
Seriously, I would love to take a tour around there.

restoration (and were absolutely perfect) and a guy was in the process of
spraying a yellow Gunnar when we went by the paint booth.
It's been said before,

Waterford or with one of Mike Kone's Boulder resources. I can say I like
it (the frame and the paint)
Thanks for posting, Tony.
So do they get painted at Waterford?
Or are they brazed together there and then shipped to Joe Bell or some
current painter for RBW?

Hey Michael,
Looked to me like they were painting in Waterford, but I didn't see it
happening.
