Schwinn/GT Corporation
 PROFILE
Since 1895 Schwinn/GT hasn't tired of peddling its bicycles. Started by Ignaz Schwinn and Adolph Arnold as Arnold, Schwinn & Company, it pioneered the use of balloon tires and handlebar gear changers. Its bikes, mostly made in Taiwan, are sold under the Schwinn, GT, and other brand names. One of the leading US bike makers, Schwinn/GT also began making fitness equipment in the 1960s; it makes stationary bikes, treadmills, and steppers for home and commercial use. Family owned until 1993, it became a unit of Zell/Chilmark's Scott Sports Group, which moved it into the mountain bike market. Acquired by Questor Partners in 1997, the company, which filed Chapter 11 in mid-2001, doubled in size when it bought GT Bicycles in 1998.
