I had a Black one with those decals but it was a 5 speed. Didn't know where it was made but it was a POS. Made around 1990 I believe and the Hungarian factory was still being used then. They say the Taiwan bikes were better quality than the Hungarian bikes. I flipped that bike real quick.

I have a yellow Hungarian Schwinn. It says Made in Hungary and Heavy Duty. It has stainless fenders. This looks like a Taiwan bike.

I think the Taiwan bikes were made by Giant,The serial numbers began with the letter G

Is the chainguard rear mount located in the same place as this one? BTW what year is yours? This is said to have been a heavy duti. Asked the guy for the serial number but he said he's not home.

I know the later Heavy- Duti's, at least many of them, were made in Hungary. The imported bikes had that chain guard mounting tab on the seat stay. A Taiwan bike may have "Taiwan" cast on the crank. lol
