How can you tell how old your schwinn bike is it is 26 inch varsity ten speed?


26 inch varsity ten speed serial number (fj575408)

June, 1973. Is this a quiz, or do you really want to know how I came about that date?

Serial Numbers:

Before 1965 serial numbers were stamped onto a rear dropout. Beginning in 1965 serial numbers were moved to the head tube and the following date system was used for all Schwinns except Paramounts. The letter at the beginning of the serial number indicates the month of manufacture, skipping the letter "I." For example, "A" = January, "B" = February, and "J" = September. The second letter of the serial number indicates the year of manufacture (not the model year), beginning with "A" = 1965. Skip the letter I & O. Sports Tourer KH017873, for example, was built in October 1972.

If it has a serial number or something you can look it up.

Otherwise check with Schwinn, and they can probably tell you how to identify the year.

Go with mgm's answer. I would just cut it open and count growth rings.
