What's Does the Symbol Stamp on Schwinn Stingray's Mean?

[Rayray]

Can any specify what the symbols mean on Schwinn stingray head tube hardware and crank hardware? I also noticed some are thicker than others. Did certain year stingray bikes use thicker hardware?

I attached some pics to help but can anyone breakdown the symbols and what year stingray the symbols coincide with.

can anyone breakdown all of the symbols and it's meaning?

Thank you!

I don't think the symbols have much meaning, maybe they can help date a certain piece but not sure. As far as the different size head parts perhaps the older parts are slightly larger. The difference is not enough to make a difference. The pieces seem to be the same size overall but just the details are slightly different could be from time period or different makers. When assembled the result will be the same. Maybe someone has an idea about the symbols.

Those symbols do date the headset. Somewhere there is a chart showing the symbols and the years each is associated with. I will try to find it.

okay, that's what I was assuming, I'm just trying to clarify and educate myself on this as well.

The dumbest questions are the ones you don't ask. This site has tons of info, just keep searching what you want to know chances are its on here. Sometimes it is difficult to find answers. You may get a some responses that are harsh but always take it with a grain of salt because the experts answer a lot of the same questions over and over. And always keep in mind most of the us are cranky old men on the other keyboard haha.

hahahaha! I'm sure after answering the same thing repeated, it could be a bit frustrating so it's understandable. lol! it is hard to find info on the forum sometimes. I tried searching, but couldn't find what I needed so I thought I would asked. I'm sure the post is probably buried in the thread somewhere. I appreciate your time and everything man, it's greatly appreciated my brother.
