Looks newer than ‘59. Campus Green is ‘67 and later I believe. What’s your serial number? Regardless, nice bike. Dig the taller frame.

On the Schwinn serial number lookup website it does ask If it's located on the head tube or rear drop out and it is on the rear dropout.

Thanks!

That serial lookup POS is like pulling the handle down on a slot machine. In 1965 Schwinn started the new serial number system with two letters representing the month and year. First letter is the month and second is the year. AA is January 1965. I and O are not used. Your number is a July 1967 number.

Here's the Official serial list. https://www.angelfire.com/rant/allday101/SchwinnCodes1.html

I just punched in your number on that worthless serial lookup. Not even close!

Decided to give her a quick clean, quick being due to it being Winter where I'm located and pretty cold but here she is, decided this is my annual 'Christmas' bike as it's green and has the red accents until the snow falls!

Looks like a pretty clean slightly used piece. Now, bust out those wrenches, loosen up all the bolts for that rear carrier and level it out.
