Schwinn Stingray Bike Serial Number Location
This tool searches a database of Schwinn serial numbers and if it finds a match to your serial number then it will display the information available for your bike.
Notes: This tool works for Schwinn bikes from 1948 to 1982. All serial number records before 1948 were lost in a factory fire.
Serial Number Location
The serial number can typically be found in one of three places on a Schwinn made bicycle.
- The headtube
- The rear dropout
- Underneath the bottom bracket shell
Note: The serial number will always be found on the actual frame of the bike. In other words, it will not be found on a bike component (like a handlebar or a pedal).
Example Numbers
Schwinn serial numbers commonly have one of three formats:
- All numbers
- One letter followed by numbers
- Two letters followed by numbers
Here are some example numbers: 0465228 - F106791 - EB37868

What a serial number can tell you
The serial number on a Schwinn frame will tell you the date that frame was manufactured. It will not identify the model of the bike, only the year the frame itself was manufactured.

Finding a bicycle serial number
Schwinn Airdyne Serial Number
Most bicycles have their serial number engraved beneath their bottom bracket, but sometimes serial numbers are found in other places. Here are some examples of where and what to look for:
- The bottom bracket (where serial numbers are typically located) is circled.
- A serial number on the underside of a bottom bracket.
- Another serial number beneath the bottom bracket, aligned parallel to the frame.
- Some Schwinn bicycles have the unique identifying number (their serial number) on the head tube. This is on the front of the bike.
- A serial number located on a rear dropout. Some BMX bikes and a few Schwinn bicycles place the serial on the rear dropout. On older Schwinns there are numbers stamped on both the drive side and non-drive side rear dropouts; the one on the non-drive side dropout is the serial number.
- Some bikes have multiple serial numbers.2When adding a bike to the Index, it's best to enter all the groups of numbers and letters separated by spaces.
Hopefully you can find the serial number on the bicycle you're looking at -email [email protected] you're having trouble.
Schwinn Serial Number Lookup
Searching serials on Bike Index
Finding bicycles by serial number on Bike Index is a critical part of our functionality. When searching for a serial number, use our serial search bar - it's the second bar on our search form.
We've done a few things to make it more likely that you'll find the bike you're looking for.
Schwinn Serial Number Location On Bike
- Certain numbers and letters are difficult or impossible to distinguish between (e.g. 0 and O, S and 5). We treat all these numbers the same way - a search for
005LLL
will match a bike with the serialOOS111
. - We split bike serials up by spaces and store each separately. If you see multiple numbers on a bicycle - such as in the photo of the Look bike above - try searching for just one of the numbers at a time. Searching for either
M4106I9CA1
or200910427-2A
will find the bike. - We do close serial matching - bikes with serial numbers that are close to the serial you entered are shown below the matching results under the heading 'Serial Numbers Close to ...' - given a search of a serial number with a couple numbers/letters that are different or missing.
- We do not currently do partial serial searches. If you search for
1234
, you will only find bikes with serial numbers of1234
and serials close to that - not a bike with serial number of12345689
.
- Okay, fine, somaybethere are a few bikes without serial numbers, but this is rare and typical only on hand made bikes or really old bicycles.↩
