hi all
once again, i admire the passion that you all have, and the incredible knowledge and history
and very much appreciate all of the info
i do not really know anything about these, other than what i can find on them (made in hungary, serial numbers...and the pics) plus my wife's memory that the grandparents had these well before her kids were born - 1989. she is incredibly smart with a sharp memory, so i have to believe her that these were in the 80s or prior
i apologize for being totally naive, but i do not know what a head badge stamp, head badge or head tube are - haha
i think you are talking about (again, pardon my being naive) the schwinn logo on the bar that goes towards the ground below the handlebars?
if so i see no numbers there
all that being said, special thanks to jay81 and freqman1 for giving me a ballpark value, as my main motivation here is to get some cash for the kids by selling them to someone who will appreciate them and take care of them. where and when they were made is something we would find very very interesting, but if these are bought by an appreciative person without us knowing those details, it would not be a disappointment
jay81 - the bikes appear to be in great condition. the grandsons have been into bicycling all of their lives, still are, have about 3 different types each with rooftop bike carriers always on top of their cars, and seem to enjoy working on them to keep them in tip top shape. bikes were probably something they had in common with their grandparents, so they probably helped them keep these in great shape.
should i just post them for sale in detroit clist? $300 for the pair?
again, ty all for your help
life is about helping each other, and i am humbled by you all taking the time to help a stranger
