Seeking info on old style Schwinn Chicago
I have come across what seems to be an older style Schwinn Chicago. I am curious about its make year as well as its current and original value.
What looks like a serial code between front tire and handlebars reads: CH127449
The number 77 is printed on the rear of the chain guard.
It looks like a 6 speed.
I can't figure out how to upload pictures from phone or else I'd post a good amount...

CH = March, 1972 frame.
Look at the 1972 catalog to see if you can identify the model from the catalog photos and descriptions.

Current value depends on condition and originality. Without pics I'd say anywhere from $25 to maybe $150.

As @Scooper indicated that dates the frame stamp to March 1972.
I believe that number was only stamped on the Suburban chain guard (used on 5-speed models), so it appears you have a '72 Suburban 5-speed model.
If that's the case then it has been modified as it was originally a 5-speed

Great information as always gentlemen!
All these years and I never knew the Suburban was designed to get one from home to one's Grumman Duck.
