Distinguishing features

Schwinn Model 724 (I believe) 5-speed built in Chicago in June, 1975 if I understand the serial number coding correctly. The serial number can be found on the fork in any event. The handlebars are the Suburban style for an upright ride rather than Collegiate style. It has a City of Seattle bicycle license sticker on the seat tube part of the frame. It is a heavy bike weighing between 39 and 41 pounds per the catalog. Single-Stik gear shift control.
