Schwinn Serial Number Reference

[Thonyv1974_]

I picked it up frame only.

I recently purchased a prewar springer fork and miscellaneous parts from Bob cycles. .. hope to find a tank and original fenders of any kind or color. .

NICE RESTORATION!
BASED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER AND PENCIL TAPERED KICK STAND,
RAISED SEATPOST 'D' BOLT, PREWAR CRANK, I WOULD SAY EARLY '46.

Here's one to add. I'm guessing 1938 BA-107. The serial is X02913. I am not a Schwinn expert but i think this one will rub out.

some write in all caps so that they can read it , no reason , to take offense

WELL SAID!

Spitfire ladies model, serial number is F97646, discovered at a rummage sale in the garage attic, rides good, plan to replace the front tire with something more correct, two new tubes, clean and re grease the bearings, ride it some more.

Flying Star ladies model, serial number W61712, same rummage sale/attic as the Spitfire. Needs both tires replaced and new tubes, clean bearings and new grease. Does ride but just a bit to see if it did. Don't want to ruin the front wheel.

Is anyone willing to guess the age of this bike? I understand its not an exact science. But I could use a little help

Look at the charts on the very first post of this thread--you won't have to guess. V/r Shawn

I looked and didn't see any G with 5 digits on BB so It's not as easy as you say.
Where else do we look??
