Serial number is K152990 which I believe gives it a date of Oct 3, 1961. Crank's date is 61. So is it a 61 or 62? Sorry no pictures but I verified the numbers. I'll post pictures of the bike after I assemble it over the next week or so. Interesting example of how a bike that looks relatively good in the pictures really is a POS when you get it home.....
Part of the game......
Well that just knocked me off my chair! Looks like Schwinn started using those 10 speed cable guides earlier than the Nov. 27 serial numbered 1962 models. I did notice that one had the galvanized fender braces and kickstand unlike the 62 models. Interesting piece that has put a kink in my production notes on this model. I'll have to say that one is actually a 1961 model with the new not so improved but easier attached cable guides. lol
Note the type errors in the original serial number list during this time.
