Dizzle Problems
Finally riding a big boys bike
I’ve owned and had a lot of Schwinns through the years, as I’m sure many here have. It seems there’s an unproportional amount of December 1980 or ‘MR’ frames out there. And many of them have headbadge numbers dating through ‘83.
Does any one definitely know why?
I’ve been told that Schwinn saw the writing on the wall so to speak, and just started banging em out to prepare for the fall of the Chicago factory, and stored them to sell through the next few years. Any truth in that?
Maybe the serial number tool got stuck on MR?
Maybe I, and friends I’ve talked to about this have a knack for finding Dec ‘80 frames? Just seems odd.
