1973??? ...72!!

Hello, your frame's serial designates October 1972 and the 102nd frame out in October. The way it reads is J (Oct) 72 (year) 102 (production run). Hope this helps.
Thanks,
John

Sorry, but J=September.

Schwinn didn't use "I" or "O" to avoid confusion with "1" and "0".

A=January
B=February
C=March
D=April
E=May
F=June
G=July
H=August
J=September
K=October
L=November
M=December
