It's DDDY............................ Been this way from beginning to end.
I believe the last digit is the year. 3660. I believe the last digit is the year. 3660.
Nope, yup U are correct on the badge number system, but Schwinn is sort of wrong or rather, using a modified system for converting between Julian and Gregorian date formatsIt's DDDY............................ Been this way from beginning to end.
I never realized it before as I usually refer to my Schwinn badges to site the direction of the numbers, but for Schwinn it is; DDDY (Day, Day, Day, Year). Go figure? I mean, up until about 12 years ago and dating Schwinn badges, I had not bothered about the Julian date code since 3rd grade so, I've never actually checked.
That too splains why some people have had trouble when directed to the Julain Date code which both U and I have referred to in the past. Schwinn's year number, from bottom; DDDY to the top, is Julian code back-assward.
'Sadly' it's 3rd grade stuff.
Schwinn's badge dating is actually incorrect, up-side-down or backward B/C Jilian Date code always, since the beginning of its time, converting our Georgian Calander, begins with Century, if needed: (C), then year (Y) followed by 365 or leap year 366 (DDD) YDDD' vs Schwin's days ending with year DDDY.
