hi all
jeez - i have no idea how a bridge was made to have someone (not sure who) is feeling insulted, or thinks i made any attempt at all to say that someone was wrong! sorry to hear you feel that way. rereading my messages, i see nothing but thanks for info, and acknowledgements of the knowledge of schwinn bikes by people on this thread.
sharing my wife's comments was merely to throw out any info i had on the subject. she is a non-typical woman, soft spoken, quiet. she is a listener, not a talker. she keeps her opinions to herself. i have been at the table many dozens of times when someone has gone on and on expressing an opinion that i know damned well is against her beliefs. she just listens when that happens. in almost 20 years, i have never seen her get involved in one single debate, argument, controversy....
reading your comments to her, she just very quietly said 'i know they had these before the kids were born (1989)'. i merely passed that on to help, not to disagree
ty to GTs58 for the head badge pic, and to jay (?) for clearly describing the location of the head badge and date of manufacture on it. i asked for clarification only because, while i was certain i knew what a head badge was, there was, and is, absolutely no manufacture date on the head badge (see pic)
all this being said, my objective, as stated, was not to figure out the date of manufacture, but to get a ballpark of what price i should post as i go to sell these - a guy 'in the middle' trying to do a good deed by getting some cash for her kids, and selling them to someone who would have an appreciation for the bikes, and for a reasonable price
i believe you all have helped me meet that objective (jay? $300), so i thank you
