Please help identify DOM/ Schwinn Frontier
I have been unable to load a photo of this bike. I need help in determining the country of origin and the date of manufacture of this Schwinn Frontier. The number on the BB is P9GB14311 and there is a lightly stamped number (2069) on the steering tube badge. If this isn't the best forum for this question please advise. Thanks in advance!

Photo assist:
When you've made 10 or more posts, you'll be able to post photos/links.
Bike was built July 25, 1999 (206th day). By that time in history, I reckon it was made in Taiwan. That late in the year, and based on the badging/livery, it's apparently a 2000 Frontier FS: https://waterfordbikes.com/SchwinnCa...0/2000_28.html
Cool monostay rear triangle.

Thanks for the prompt response! I have another Frontier that has a badge number of 0500. Can I assume this was built on the 50th day of 2000? Interesting that this bike (0500) has double butted joints as opposed to the 2069 badged bike, and that the 0500 bike is a 10 speed, the 2069 badged bike is a 12 speed. I will post a pic of the 0500 bike when I reach my 10 posts. It makes me wonder if there were different levels of the Frontier models. The 0500 also doesn't have the front suspension fork?

Oops, I looked at this again and the 2069 badged bike is a 21 speed. It also has QR hubs front and rear. It has the Red Fade paint job which I thought was a defect until I read the ads.

And to answer my own question (and chip away at the 10 posts goal to put up photos), it looks like this 0500 bike is actually a 1990 instead of a 2000. This would explain the fewer gears, lack of QR hubs, lack of quick release on seat posts, but arguably stronger frame. Thanks for all the help so far!
