Having trouble finding the age of my Schwinn bike
Greetings!
I just bought an old Schwinn bike, the previous owner wasn't sure of its age, but assumes it's from the 1980s.
I can't upload photos, but my serial is SB205657
And the 4 digit number on the front badge is 0602
I did try the unofficial Schwinn serial decoder online, but it didn't recognize the serial number
Hopefully someone here will know!
Thank you!

I can usually just figure that out by googling the make&model, and finding a picture of one, the same color, since most bikes only came in two to three colors a year.
