Hello,

Can you help me ?

I have 2 Schwinn bikes.
One is a Le Tour, The other is a Traveler.

How do I research the age and worth of these 2 beauties ?

I think they are mid to late 1970s

Thanks,
JET843
 
I've looked and could not find any serial numbers .......
Is that possible ??

The bikes both read "Made in Japan" -- "Aproved by Schwinn"

They were originally purchased at a Schwinn bike shops.
The bike shop emblembs are on the frame.

Your thoughts ....

there has to be numbers unless they are either grinded off or painted over with a million coats of thick thick paint......did you check everywhere that link suggested? Search the bikes over there will be numbers...
 
I found the Serial Numbers !!!!!!!!!!!!

The serial numbers on both bikes were on the Left Rear Drop Out, near the rear wheel axle.
I thought this to be odd - because I thought these were mid to late 1970s bikes.
The Le Tour, my wife bought new in the mid 70s when she lived in New York.
The Traveler, I bought second hand here in Chicago, last summer.

The Le Tour is a --- 4J05281

The Traveler is a --- E625476

I looked on the link that Marty W provided, and am still not certain of the date of manufactor.
What am I missing ? Can someone take a look ?

I know you guys are the experts, please help if you can.

Thank you,
JET843
