schwinn i.d. help

[texasbigjon]

i was looking thru my frame stash today,looking for something to play around with,and drug out this old schwinn that a friend brought to me at xmas. tried looking the serial numbers up on the cabe,no luck! can any of schwinn specialists help me out? it would be much appreciated,thanx! the # is B68067.

If you didn't find the number in the serial lists, then the bike was built before the fire in 1949. The forward facing dropouts date it to after WWII, so it falls in the 1945-49 time frame. Several different models used the same straight bar frame.

Hey Texasbigjohn, re size that photo a bit and let me see if I can get you a little closer (year wise) I am interested in seeing fork and front fender as well as a better shot of the kick stand. Do you have any other parts that came with the bike? Later & PEACE!!!! :wink:
