Help identifying my bike?
I don't know if this is the right place or not, but I recently bought a Schwinn Cruiser-Six, and cannot find any information about it. I read where to look for the serial number and it says TY80800896. I can't find numbers like that located anywhere. I've looked in two books and online but still come up with nothing. If there is anybody out there that can help me identify my bike and maybe it's age I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Now I can't find where to add my picture. Can anyone help? Or could I email it? Whoops, I think I got the pic in the next post.

Your bikes looks like it's from the 70's - 80's from the reflectors, grip shifter and speedometer. That saddle looks hideously painful. I'd make the sure the wheels are true and repack/replace the bearings on the crankset and the headset. and replace that saddle.
Have fun.

ON NEWER BIKES:
you can find a 4 digit serial number lightly stamped onto the headbadge.
The first three digits are the numerical day of the year,
and the last digit is the last digit of the year.
You've got a Schwinn from July of 1988. Or possibly 1978.

Looks to be Schwinn from there retro series sold from the early to mid 80's. Check some catalogs online and suspect you will find this exact bike.
