Bk=Black 52=model# 1954=year of manufacture
I called Schwinn......they said it was made in 2008.
The Schwinn bike serial number H19577 was made in 1951.
When did they put the 2 speed on schwinn bikes?
Schwinn first produced the Schwinn Krate in 1963. This bike was characterised by a small front wheel and large handlebars, making it look like a chopper.

I just searched for the serial number of my Schwinn Collegiate. From the same source it appears that mr850439 was manufactured in December 1980. Here is a reference: http://www.bunchobikes.com/serialnumber5.htm
If the serial # is on the headtube, that bike was made in Chicago in October 1975.
I believe the Shwinn model 684 was made for only one year...1990.
The original line was in production from the 1950's through the 1970's. There is a new model Schwinn racer currently still in production that was released a few years ago since at least 2009. The new ones are typically sold with the year as part of the title "Schwinn 2013 Racer"
