Old Bikes Schwinn
How to correctly date old Schwinn bicycles?
My grandparents gave me 2 Schwinn bicycles that they have had in their basement forever. One is a Schwinn Varsity and the other is a Schwinn Collegiate 3. The Varsity seems to be older than the Collegiate. My grandparents cannot remember when they bought the bikes, but they think it was between the mid 60s to the early 70s. I need to know how I can properly identify the year in which they were made. Also, if you could give me an estimate of their value, I would greatly appreaciate it!
You already have an answer for finding the year of manufacture. As to value, don’t expect much. These bikes were built in huge quantities and there are still a lot of them around, they were built to last. They were inexpensive new, and even in perfect condition, aren’t worth much more than when they were new. If you could sell both for $200 you would be doing well.
