sounds about right

 

[tonedeaf]

250, just because of the rims. other then that 200

 

[pedal scrapin]

how do you know its not a schwinn?

j/w

i guess 250 would be right even though the paint was 100 (i knew the guy) and the parts all together were lik 250 but w/e

thanks

the ez way to find out is the kickstand. yours is a bolt on, schwinns kicks stand are buit in

 

[socios b.c. prez]

A few things give it away.

1. There is no kickstand bracket welded behind the crank.

2. The part where you bolt there rear rim has two little holes. Schwinns had only one.

3. The seriel # is under the crank case right?

4. The seatpost clamp is painted.

5. The tubes that meet at the head tube are not welded into a curve. The manufacturer just drilled a hole in the headtube and just welded it in there.

I could go on... :biggrin:

 

[pedal scrapin]

oh alright just wondering how you knew that. well the seat post clamp was painted when i got it painted.

and schwinn had there vin numbers in different spots for different years like i know there was a few years were it was on the headtube, and then they were under the crank case like you said.

aright guys thanks for the help though, and i have mirrors too to put on so that ill do now.

later

6. Schwinns were brazed together not welded

:0 i have 3 frames with the same paint :biggrin: well i have more but i have 3 black ones

Due to the fact that most 70's and later schwin frames had a straighter rear section than yours. On the up tube leading to the back end it would usually be flatter. I believe.

1. There is no kickstand bracket welded behind the crank.

2. The part where you bolt there rear rim has two little holes. Schwinns had only one.

And just to retort. I have a different off brand of schwin, its not a stingray in other words. It was a Kyote or something, and there wasn't a kickstand bracked welded underneath, and it has two different holes, ones threaded and the other is not. Im guessing that the brackets and single holes were just on the stingrays. Right? Because this was a schwin. undoubly.

 

[GracefulSpeed]

hey guys... Ive been wonering whether or not my bike is a schwin frame....

i bought it without badges or anything,

it does have a kickstand welded on, the seat post had not seat clamp when i got it

as for the serial number i honestly dont remember where it was and i dont wanna sand it down to find it again

right where you bolt down the rear wheel i have one hole

theres a few pics of it under the newbie here post... but i doubt the quality is good enough to see details....

thanks

[64]

[Lownslow302]

how bad is your old one? get that plated Schwinn parts are expensive in NOS form, so your best bet is to restore yours id be cheaper that way
