serial number help

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I have a middleweight frame with the serial number D84938 on rear drop out . I used number generator and came up with 1952 thats not right. I found a D serial number in reterence thread on this site for a 1957. Is this frame possible a 90's frame where and what numbers did they use. The frame seems legit but unfamilar with repop bikes.

So much for work that can wait this is more important, I didnt give whole # it is D849438

I put in correct number and it comes up 04/29 1958, that sounds more like it.

Nope, guess again. The number you posted in post #1 doesn't match, so that picture is incorrect.

I had given the wrong number, the pic is of the actual drop out. I came up with 1958 from that D849438

The chain ring is newer.

Yes there is a bunch of newer junk parts on it I will weed them out as I clean up vintage stuff I have. After market springer,I tightened it up rides ok. Winter cruiser something to beat on. I love my middle weights that is oldest schwinn frame I have. I'm color blind and have been riding it for 2 days my daughter mentioned it was purple-ish I had no idea.haha

Well it does have a purple hue to it. Do you know what the original color was, I see no traces of old paint other than maybe the red oxide primer. Possibly a faded Spitfire Red?
