can you help me identify this schwinn continental?
According to the serial date code, bicycle I have should be 1984 Schwinn Continental, however, my research indicates that last Continental was produced in 1982.
I am including pictures, and serial number of my bike.
What does the decal on the top tube say, I can't read it but it doesn't look like Continental. That bike has side pull brakes and the Conti's had center pull brakes.
Okay, I copied the picture and blew it up. That is a Conti decal. Original? Getting the build date off the head badge and a shot of the drive side would help.
I see some stampings on the bars, both sides of the stem. What does that say?
Schwinn was producing lightweights like the Le Tour down south in Greenville during this time. I think it was Murray that produced a few antiquated lightweights for Schwinn, not Huffy.
I wish I could view your link Lee. Any idea why I was banned from the SBF and why Jennifer blocked my IP so I can't view the forum as a guest? I was given no reason why to anything by anybody.

All, thanks for posting. My friend dkristic79 posted this for me. First, I will get some better pictures over the weekend.
I am pretty sure I bought this bike in '84 to replace my canary yellow continental which had been stolen. I bought it in Evanston Illinois. I am pretty sure I have the original manual and probably receipt I will try to find. I bought it as a "continental". I wanted another one. At that time I was riding every day to commute to work and this big heavy bike was right for me along the Chicago bike path. I do not remember them telling me they were no longer made.
So I will see what I can find and follow up. Thanks!
