I have an early 80s Japanese Schwinn, and it's SN, if I recall, is on the dropout. Edit: 1951 and before, according to "bunchobikes"-but weren't those mostly middleweight and heavyweight, with ashtabula crank? I think that some bikes before the 1960s had SNs elsewhere, but I'm not for sure. Edit: According to a post on the Schwinn Forums by Scooper from 2006. In that case, J=September and L=November, and the second digit would be the last digit of the year (in the 1970s, I presume). If that is a Serial Number, it could be a Japanese-made frame-then the letter could be J or L, as Pastor Bob says. Look in the other spots and see if you find anything. So I'm thinking that what you're looking at is a part ID number. No "I"s (or "O's) were ever used in Schwinn SNs, I don't think, due to their similarity to 1 and 0.Īll the Schwinn SNs with which I'm familiar are on the head tube (or head badge) or on the right drop out.
