I picked up a refurbished Mirada today via CraigsList. It rides well and I'm happy with it. I am trying to figure out whether it's an "old" Mirada or a "new" one, but the serial number decoding info I have found isn't helping much.
The auto-decoder gives me two different - and unlikely - results, while I just can't make any of the "if-this-then-that" written decoding directions work with the s/n I found on the bike.
There is no number stamped on the Schwinn badge on the head tube. The s/n I found is under the crank shaft housing.
I read this as 6o37354 // g0386.
The first group really confuses me, as it includes the letter "oh", which everything I've read says was not used to avoid confusion. (hah, see what I did there?)
The second group is in the correct format to be a Taiwan-made Giant-for-Schwinn s/n, but is in the wrong place.
Halp?
