Need some serial number help!!

[It’s late 90’s](https://www.flickr.com/photos/hermespag/albums/72157627026170376/). Aluminuim frame, and those shifters didn’t come out until 1992

I think the only upgrade I see is the carbon fork. The wheels might be upgraded, but the look to be similar age

[Yup 1998.](http://oldbikeshop.blogspot.com/2017/06/1998-schwinn-catalog.html?m=1)

Bonus: in the catalog you can see the bike on it’s driver side😜

Makes sense the fork was replaced. Who wants a shock absorbing fork on a road bike ?

This is a Schwinn from the 1990s, after the original Chicago-based Schwinn had gone bankrupt and had been bought and sold once or twice. It’s a perfectly functional bike, but I would not worry about keeping it period correct, it doesn’t have any collector value
