Later Schwinn serial numbers / years made. Bicycles from Japan made in the 70’s have a production month letter in either the first or second position and a production year number in the other (first or second) position. Examples J677123 = September, 1976, 6J77123 = September, 1976. During the 1980s, Greenville used the old letter-digit. Find the serial number on the bicycle. Schwinns produced between 1960 and 1969 have serial numbers on the right rear axle mount (this mount keeps the wheel in place). Look for the serial number on the lower head tube (right above the wheel on the front of the bike) for Schwinns produced between 1970 and 1979. Click here to check it out, besides loads of fun, it has its own links into the Schwinn world. We are grateful to have the opportunity to preserve these fantastic resource.

Numbering system:
The first letter is the month, the second letter is the year.I and O are skipped so as to avoid confustion with 1 and 0.

AF***** = Jan. 1970,..... ('A' = Jan., 'F' = 1970)
GL***** = July. 1975,..... ('G' = July., 'L' = 1975)
MR***** = Dec. 1980,..... ('M' = Dec., 'R' = 1980), etc.

During the 1980s, Greenville used the old letter-digit(e.g. F8 = June 1988) system which Chicago stopped using in 1965,
changing to the two-letter system.
For newer bikes:
there's a 4 digit serial number lightly stamped onto the headbadge.
The first three digits are the numerical day of the year,
and the last digit is the last digit of the year.
Example:
3654 is 12/31/84 or 94 or (?).
