Help With Comparison

[gtown]

Neither are Chicago Schwinn. The blue one is a 1988 5 speed. The black one is a 7 speed.
Does anyone have any idea of what the manufacture date is for the black one?
How do the 2 compare head to head?
Any other helpful information would be greatly appreciated.

No build date on the head badge? From what I've seen the 2000 was the first year for the 7 speed but it sure doesn't look like your Cruiser. You sure that's a 7 speed and not a 6?
