1980s Schwinn Serial Numbers

Schwinn Bike Dating After 1965, Schwinn serial number sequences, while appearing to be confusing on first sight, follow several general rules. I hope you expand back in time before the fire and come up with some sort of framework for the prewar years '33-'41 and the '46-'48 bikes. Schwinn Years by Model. Catalogs by Year. Model Years; Aerostar: 1990: Aluminum 354: 1991 : Aluminum 434: 1990 , 1991 : Aluminum 564: 1989 : Aluminum 594. Bikes catalogs parts history serial numbers # Vintage Schwinn Bikes Most models of Schwinn bikes have years of images and information via old catalogs, advertisements and Schwinn documentation.

NUMBERS ARE NOW LOCATED ON THE LOWER LEFT OF THE HEADTUBE
(By The Schwinn Badge On The Front OF The Frame)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NUMBERING SYSTEM:

THE FIRST 'LETTER' IS THE MONTH, THE SECOND 'LETTER' IS THE YEAR.
THE LETTERS ' I ' and ' O ' ARE SKIPPED
TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH NUMBERS 'ONE' and 'ZERO'.

Examples:
AF***** = Jan. 1970,..... ('A' = Jan., 'F' = 1970)
GL***** = July. 1975,..... ('G' = July., 'L' = 1975)
MR***** = Dec. 1980,..... ('M' = Dec., 'R' = 1980), etc.
