AGE AND MODEL OF SCHWINN TANDEM

June 6, 2006

    I have a Schwinn tandem bike and I want to sell it but can't find the model or year. It has numbers H-L or M-L followed by 28250. The tires say 26 x 1 3/4 and "West Wind." I also found "A5 A8." It is green & chrome. All original parts. Can you help me to find information?

Marcia:
    In the mid ‘60s, Schwinn went to a serial numbering scheme in which the first letter means the month (with A = January) and the second letter means the year (with A = 1965). Schwinn skipped the letters I and O.
    That makes your bike’s birth date 1976.
    If the bike’s frame doesn’t show the model, I haven’t a clue. I suggest you try posting a query to the Schwinn classic classifieds.
