Frame kit came in long or short frames made of 4130 chromoly. They were manufactured by BMX Products, Inc. for Schwinn and sold only in Schwinn dealerships.  Frames came in nickel, Red, Blue, and Yellow. Only the short frame came in a nickel finish. The DeCoster frame can easily be identified by the oval in the front gusset behind the head tube. The frames were produced from 1976-1983.
