NOS Schwinn Cruiser Frame

[Xlobsterman]

Can anyone date this NOS Schwinn Cruiser frame? I purchased it a few years ago thinking I would do a custom build, and never did. It still has the 2 holes on the head tube for mounting the head badge, so I am thinking middle or late 80's?

Does it have a serial number on it some place? Roger

NOS in primer?

 

[Rusty Klunker]

Was thinking the same thing it should have a SN number. Not sure about a typhoon or heavy duti but didn't the 80's cruisers have a flat fender brace? Maybe a an earlier frame.

Can’t tell if it’s a balloon or middleweight frame, weird that it’s primer also, and dark gray primer also

Measure the distance between the rear dropouts to determine if it's a MW or a Ballooner. The person you got it from have any idea how they got it? How do you know it's NOS? It could just be a frame in primer.

No electro forging and it looks like a Murray built frame. Maple Island also sold imitation Schwinn frames years ago. Really no way to date it unless it is a Murray built frame.

YES, it is on the bottom bracket.

YES, it is on the bottom bracket.

And ?

And ?

The serial number is irrelevant because it is not a Chicago frame!
