@JeffreyRosenlund nice. I tried to make a 1937 klunker one time. Started with a frame. Lil by Lil, I started adding all the original parts. Next thing I know. It was back to original.
@jaimefernandez3076 "L" was the 11th month(Nov). M was 12th letter for Dec. Excluding "I" & "O"( so not to be confused with 1 & zero)But with the overwelming demand for the new popular stingrays (all models especially Super Deluxe)in 64. They had to work over time. And they used the "N" (which technically should stand for a 13th month with don't exist.)
So, if the frame is made Dec.1980. And the badge has julian date 1981. Is the bike considered a 1980 or a 1981. I have one for sale, but I don't want to give it away. Very informative video. Thank you.
@@leeb22000 it all depends on how much someone is willing to spend really. Some people look for certain models, years, parts and accessories. Condition and completeness determine a lot on price. Send me pics to my instagram.com/Schwinn_addiction
How are you? I came across an original 1959 schwinn tornado (Chicago). Do you know a place that would be able to restore this bike? The serial number starts w L9
send me pics on my instagram.com/schwinn_addiction, let me check it out. where are you located? some select bike shops will restore, or maybe if you can find an enthusiast near you that can help. would be best to stay local. shipping fees are expensive. Depends on how my restoration it needs. some just needs water,soap & tires. Some need new paint and parts. all depends. I can tell you what you need.
it's a short number, might be prewar. which would explain why it's not in the data base. there's no record before 1948. Send me pics of bike and serial number to my Instagram/schwinn_addiction.
@@jasongonsales9599 ok. so than your missing digits. try cleaning the numbers a lil more, some times thick paint fills them and are hard to see or has a light punch. It's possible there's a digit before the H. but pics will help.
@@jasongonsales9599 I was going to say 1951, but it has 7 digits. it's possibly Aug 1960 but it has 7 digits as well. and if there's a digit before the H, than it's a 72.
You cant exactly go by frame dated bikes i have schwinn racer delux frame dated jc which sept of 1967 all the other accessories to make up the bike is from 1968 so schwinn stock piled frames
@johnbartol8511 usually when it's made at the end of the year, it's technically next year's model. I have a 64 1/2 Super Deluxe. Technically, it's made in 64 but it's considered a 65 model. Made early for Christmas.
Picked up an HD dated Campus Green Schwinn stingray with the dealer sticker still on it from Montrose Bike Shop in So- Cal!!! Still in business…
@@jaimefernandez3076 Aug 68. Nice score.
Ive got the 53 Phantom frame only built as a Klunker. I've got the 83 Sierra, the 82 Sidewinder and the 84 High Sierra.

Can you do a video on anything/everything you know about the 20” schwinn cruiser
will do, bro. is there certain info that you're looking for?
I believe N4 is the 1964 December super deluxe stingrays.

I go by date on frame. I would consider it a 1980. Final assembly in 81. I do have a 64 1/2 Super Deluxe but technically is a 65 model.
How can I get the value?

I have a vintage Schwinn balloon tire, tank bike, serial number HO8420 and l can't find my bike anywhere on any site... Can you help

@@Schwinn_Addiction l don't think its pre-war because SN is on rear drop out and not under crank... The closest l got was a to the year(s) 1952-53.???

@@Schwinn_Addiction Do you have a email address where l can send you pics ?
Is my Schwinn made in 1968 if Date starts with FSD?
The older Chicago Schwinns serial numbers started with 1 or 2 letters. 3 letters sounds like late 90s early 2000s repop.
You can send me pics thru instagram.com/Schwinn_Addiction
