It's kind of neat that these are the original "hybrids." Part road bike, part ATB. mine has the 92 rings.Yeah, the 'purple' Criss Cross is the 92. Also the 91 catalog lists chainrings as 28/38/48. Am I measuring it right or does the serial # disclose the frame size? Thanks for all the help guys. I usually ride a lg or xl frame (58 or 60cm). I measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube and got 18". Frame sizes listed for 92 were 16" 18" 20" and 22". The purple color of the bike matches the blue velvet gas shown in the 1992 brochure and suggested by T-Mar. I found some old schwinn brochures on line posted by. The codes are known for both of these manufacturers, so we should be able to tell you the exact fabrication date if you post the serial number.Īfter more cleaning and a magnifying glass inspection the second digit is a two. Given the era and level of your Schwinn, it was most likely manufactured by either Giant or China Bicycle Company. In the cases of foreign, contract manufactured frames they can precede or lag the fabrication date by a significant period. The dates on the Schwinn badges do not always line up with the serialization dates. Beyond that, it is typically the number of the frame built during the subject period, though some will narrow that down to a fortnight or day and in some rare cases, the size is included and rarer still, the model. If you know the code, most will tell you the manufacturer and the year and month of fabrication. Not sure what all the #s on the bottom bracket mean.There are numerous serial number formats. Headtube badge numbers show it to be made on October 16, 1990. I was looking at the numbers on the bottom bracket.
