1927. Great bit of info. IF your bike was a very early build and 415000 was the start of the 1928 build it says they built in excess of 52770 bikes in 1927. Several times the 17152 bikes built in 1932. Just thinking that had to do with the depression that came along in 1929. Now all we need is a bike with a 1926 or 25 crank to verify the numbers. But that adds a great data point and now you have your date. Nice bike by the way.
 
nice job in collecting these dates,glad i could contribute in a small way,now if we could find a few more with them earlier dates?thanks for your help ,much appreciated

no don't know,rcole45 started keeping track of the serial #s for the pre1933 schwinns as there is very little info on these older motor bikes.as these are all 28 inch wheels.
 
ReVo. Go over to general discussion thread and ask there. Some one will know. Berry you need to do the same thing. Only reason I have the prewar Schwinn data is I wanted to know the date of mine. For the post 1933 balloon bikes I just ride it to the next Cyclone Coaster ride and ask around. Answer in seconds. LOL
