Cruisin' on my Bluebird
So anyway Bill your first clue on the Traveler is the Japan mark and it is a lugged frame. According to catalogs The lugged japan Traveler it was introduced in 1975. Albet it's reported; japan frames for Schwinn began around 1970, their japan traveler wasn't until 75.I looked at my source and it said this is a January 1960???
S # is AO22942 ?? I don’t trust my source! Help please!

Japan frames are a little tricky as month and year may be the 1st two numbers or letters yet could be within the 1st three too. Perhaps the early Japan frames are within the 1st 3 IDK. But in your case it's the 1st two;
"A0". A = January and 0 = 1980. (I. E. B is Feb, C = March. and following the letter; 1 is 1981, 2 =1982, etc.)
In the future use this site for dating em B/C the auto site has a poor or incomplete and unreliable, (1,ooo's of people screw up, due to its nonsense) algorism that's screwy. (even multiple 40's through 70's frames too!).: http://www.re-cycle.com/History/Schwinn/SwnB_Serial.aspx
