I purchased a 26" cantilever frame, who the owner claimed was a SCHWINN. Frame only, no forks or badges to help identify. The badge holes do line up but i assume most are the same no? Here is my main question:
The serial number is on the bottom bracket and reads W077319. Following the final digit is a 2 in exponential form (like 9 squared). According to the index a BB serial is 48-52 but the serial number runs as a 1956. Am i not understanding or is my frame a different make and model? I have included a pic of the dropouts as well as i see this is a huge clue most of the time. Also the deep.stamped '8' or exponent '2' may have some significance no?
