1971 Schwinn Original Chicago
Hello,
I have a 1971 original Chicago Schwinn that I would like to restore. I looked up the serial number on Schwinn serial number look up and found this information. The only problen is that I read through the catalog and I cannot find " Chicago" model anywhere. Does anyone have any more information they can provide me with? Thank you!

A "Chicago" Schwinn just means that it was made at the Chicago factory before it shut down in '83. Hope this helps.

You're likely looking at the head badge. There were a number of Schwinn models that had the "Schwinn Chicago" head badge.
