I would like to add my 1965 KSHD to the list owned by coasterbrakejunkie1969 serial # BA72933 red, complete. This is it next to my 1969 Typhoon to show frame difference and a different picture without the ridiculous seat haha.

Cool comparison shots. I am a little behind on adding the new serial#s and updating owners, since some have changed hands. I will get caught up this weekend. Cheers
 
I'm working on the updates/adds now, if you have updates where serial#s have exchanged hands send me a PM and let me know please.
 
If you possess a rare taller Schwinn King Size (20" seat tube) middleweight cantilever complete or frame and would like to be added to the registry let us know. Only made from 1962-1965 in short production runs, which is already noticeable in the list compiled thus far. A few of us here are obsessed with learning more detailed history on the model, so please add any knowledge to this post as well. I'll do my best to keep the list updated on a regular basis. Looking forward to the knowledge share. Last updated 02/02/2021...

Years and models produced:
King Size American (KSA) 1962-1964 (includes late 61 frame dates for 62 year model)
King Size American Heavy Duty (KSAHD) 1962-1963 (includes late 61 frame dates for 62 year model)
King Size Heavy Duti (KSHD) 1964-1965 ("King Size" naming not on chain guard)


Note: I have made the registry spreadsheet an image, so you can save it if you'd like. Enjoy!
Just updated, Enjoy!
 
A '62 KSHD was posted on the bikes for sale forum (not mine), looks like a new serial number for the list...

Who bought this one?
 
Northroad style handlebars, with a lot of rise. Maybe 7881? Definitely not the steer horn 7884 that the catalog lists for the king size a year later, nor 7800 steer horn as found on many older Schwinn Americans.

What say the KSHD enthusiasts? Could they be original?
