The serial # on this Schwinn made Rev O Noc stumps me, I'm sure its earlier than the # indicates.
One reason is the original Rev O Noc stamped Mesinger seat, another is the crank nut and last but not least the early International Stamping fenders. Yet doesn't have built in drop stand stops. Cliff

Is this a Schwinn built bike and any thoughts on the crank? Tim

Sure looks like it is. The serial number falls in between the bicycles shown in posts #6 and #25 of this thread.

By the 240,000 serial numbers, it looks like the truss rods were bolted to the axle, versus attached to the forks by brazing.

Is this a newer crank and chainring?
