WHERE TO FIND SERIAL NUMBER ON A SCHWINN SUBURBAN?

February 22, 2006

    Where is the serial number for a Schwinn Suburban bicycle located? I was told that it is a 1969, where do I find out information about this bike?

Julian:
    Look for that number on one of these: the underside of the bottom bracket or a chain stay; the side of the frame where the seat stay meets the chain stay; or the front of the head tube or seat post tube.
    For pictures of where on a bike’s frame all of these occur, see the “Avoiding Rip-Off” chapter of my book, Urban Bikers’ Tricks & Tips.
    Cycling Forums’ rec.bicycles.misc section has a discussion thread on the Suburban you might find helpful. See also my response to another question about this venerable mount.
