Probably a Scrambler....most likely black with red and white decals.

I bought my Son a Schwinn BMX in the 80's.
If I recall (which is iffy), all the Schwinn BMX's
that I saw in the showroom had names of old
automatic transmissions, like Torqueflite, etc....
The one I ended up getting him was called a
Hydromatic.
I think the "G" at the beginning of the number
means the frame was made by Giant (??)

Kev,

Too bad about the headset and bottom bracket. It's always good to have spare small parts like that on hand. Who here doesn't have a collection of incomplete headsets? I know I do.

Might be worth putting it up for sale on the Schwinn site. Sting's are the big dogs, but Scramblers do have a little bit of a following. Mag Scramblers mostly, but someone may want it.
