Hey guys, I'm new to this forum (literally minutes) because I have a question regarding a friend's bike that they are trying to get rid of. It is a Schwinn with a serial number that reads SL928521 on the rear dropouts. Some chrome on the fork, but nowhere else. Most of the bike is covered with stickers, covering the model name.
After googling to the ends of the earth, I have found that serial #s on dropouts mark through 1970, and one page that I can no longer find stated that SL stood for a lighter style frame (fillet brazed maybe?).
Problem is, I can't find this number on any of the sites, SL brings up nothing for me searchwise, and the Schwinn decal on the frame looks more like an 80's lettering style, not 60's. What started out as a seemingly easy question to answer has left me scratching my head. So, what kind of Schwinn is this?
