From the pics I've seen of them they looked more like a temporary factory identification thing than a permanent installation. I'm kind of a trial & error guy.Īnyways, if your Dyno was an early model with a sticker it may have been removed or lost. I've already got two different handlebars I want to try out and see how they look. I'm going to put it together as is first then start the customizing process. The bike should be delivered tomorrow so guess what I'm going to be doing - hee hee. I'm going to paint my Dyno so the decal will be gone forever but I think I'm going to have a custom head badge made - one that looks like a Dyno badge but isn't the same. I think I've even seen two different shaped 'D's with the decals also. The one I have coming is an earlier model with the 'D' decal on the front. Read the serial numbers of bikes produced between 19.Also, from the close up pics I've seen of the head badged models there doesn't seem to be any visible mounting screws so I assumed they glued them on. (Go online to for a list of serial numbers between 19.) Those bikes produced between 19 typically start with a letter representing the month it was produced (A=January, B=February, and so on) followed by a digit representing the year (9=1959, 0=1960, 1=1961, 2=1962, 3=1963, 4=1964). Those Schwinn bikes produced before 1959 have no real system to numbering but the serials typically contain six or seven numbers or letters. Interpret the serial numbers of bikes produced between 19. Identify Schwinns produced before 1948 by looking for either of these serial numbers: B12818 or Z12993. Those produced after these dates will usually have a serial number stamped on the bottom bracket shell (the rear axle hanger holding 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 19. Schwinns produced between 19 have serial numbers on the right rear axle mount (this mount keeps the wheel in place). The seats on Schwinn beach cruisers can be approximately 10 to 12 inches wide. The balloon frames will have a wide seat that is meant to accomodate most of the average bottom size. A good Samaritan saw the bike listed as stolen on the Bike Index and saw a man on the bike a couple days later. seem to buy more parts to keep in my garage than to actually rebuild bikes, but I'll get round to them soon.probably 'help'. Is there a dedicated site where I can convert the serial number and find out all I need to know? I'm kind of new to rebuilding. But it says my frame is supposed to be 7000Al but the sticker on my bike.
