So I bought a Taiwan-built pink Schwinn

Finally riding a big boys bike
Purchased at auction, no serial number found

Aired tyres and rode home, will modify to liking

Where am I not looking at for this danged serial number?

Taiwan-built Giant Company Schwinn-specified design? Saved from garbage embargo
 
A lot of the Taiwanese bikes have the serial under the bottom bracket, along one side. If it's Chinese, I don't know.
 
That's pre 90's, around 1986 or so. Giant stamped a date on the drive side drop out on some lightweight frames so maybe they did the cantilever frames also. MMYY with a preceding G. The head badge should also have the build date stamped on it.
 
Wow! The 4-digit (!) serial number is indeed applied via sticker (!!) near the right rear drop out. I have recorded it, as I like to retain them for my records. Head badge says "2288".

Thanks for the assistance, all!

What's up with the diving suit person in that 1987 Schwinn catalog? Standing in quicksand?
