I had read somewhere that Schwinn wasn't part of the BMA because the association required silly things, such as shipping bicycles with the front wheel in place - which Schwinn properly assumed as being stupid. I think that was written in a popular mechanics article from the 70s, or a book published by popular mechanics, I just wanted to know if there were any other manufacturers who decided not to join.
So I'm going to assume that there was never a BMA 5 or BMA 7 rating? (does the number signify anything?) Does anybody know about when they stopped putting the BMA 6 sticker on everything?
Thanks for the answers.
