Most likely you have a 1970 Suburban, which was the first year they were built. Unless it is in brand new mint condition it is worth anywhere from $25 to maybe $100.
Bummer.The info I read has a lot of info.Why would Schwinn put a stamp on a 1969 bicycle when it was a 1970?Sounds like a big bo- no by Schwinn.Thought my bike was a classic.
It sucks to find out my bike is only worth $100.Still keeping it
At least I know it's a 1970.Thank you Metacortex.Where did you find that info?I tried,but mothing.Alot of 1970 bikes,but no Suburban.
