Need Help

Hey guys i had a quick question

I wanted to start renovating a bike and wasnt sure what type it is, all i know is that its a schwinn, with a xtra lite 1020 on the tubing. are there any other markings that can help determine the model and such? all other stickers are gone and the bike has some rust so not sure what to look at.

Check for a serial number under the bottom bracket. If one is there google it or post it and just ask around.

You can determine approximately vintage by applying some of the information contained in How Old Is My Bike? As for how good is the bicycle, clues to its quality level will be shared in Bicycle Quality.

Can't help much with anything else at the moment. I might suggest, however, that the OP, that's you Shaynethelazer, post good clear pictures of the bike and close ups of frame and component details. Doing so will likely result in much better feedback from other forum members.
