Found in dumpster!
Hi guys, I found this in the dumpster at work. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it worth anything or possibly restoring a bit? I don't know much about bikes.
Site won't let me upload pictures... Odd. It's an old looking schwinn with the word aluminum written on the top bar. It has really skinny tires and has to be the lightest bike I've ever seen.
Serial number is K062327A

No biggy on the upload... Just post 10 times and your in. Gotta do this to keep the robots at bay. Sounds interesting on the find. Excited about more details... Welcome to the forum.

It looks like one of the Greenville, MS-made aluminum bikes from the mid-late eighties, under license from Gary Klein. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly with more info.

We won't discuss in the same thread about the cease and desist order Gary was handed after naming a bike TopGun...
Whap.
But I tried a very early Klein, Super Super Stiff. It was the future for Criterium racing.

Looks like a Schwinn 354, google some pics. Clue is the 354 had a regular seatpost vs most of the others using a Quill seatpost.
Or check out this link:

Oh wow yea that is it! Thanks a bunch, I was about to just list it for sale on the ole FB because it was taking up space in my garage. I said nvm and tried learning more about it before selling. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I have yet to even ride it. There are no pedals!
