The first letter is who made the frame itself, in this case it would be 'Kenisis', an overseas company.this could be replaced by another letter but at least we know what that one is there for.

if your serial is KGCG2297 this one gets a little complicated. The last 4 digits, are your build number, this one would be the 2,198th one built. Then you have '92' next in the lineup, this would be 1992 Next on the serial is '0892' this is easy to decode too,Ġ8 means 8th month, which would be august. It can also be a 'I' for interceptor and so on. M1 stands for 'mach one' that is your model gt. on the dropout you have 'M1' followed by '08922198'.this one is simple. Well we get a good bit of gt serials that could be identified by the owner, if they only had the tips that some of us have learned, so i will post what i know, and anyone with more knowledge can add to it.so here we go.

Dan Garcia Bike Frame Serial Number Lookup EngineĪnd here is the updates, thanks to love thegoose! (Michael S) THAT is the kind of stuff that belongs in the BMX Museum! It might be a really cool thing if I can track down Gilbert now and interview him for you. He also did the original PK Ripper for SE Racing. Who? Do you remember Race, Inc.? That was Gilbert. I am also teaching welding at a local community college.īy the way, did I tell you that the guy ran GT's in house fabrication for the last ten years (he recently retired) was none other than Gilbert Axt. I am tinkering around with the idea of starting to make my own frames, kind of on a 'one-off' basis. The information might also come in handy for deciphering other makes because the factories in Taiwan make bikes for a lot of different companies.

The model and year of production was also coded by a letter, so you won't be able to spot a two digit month and two digit year.īefore I left, I was writing a specification to standardize all of the serial numbers because GT was starting to send most of its US production to other US fabrication shops. There might also be a second letter digit specifying the factory that assembled the bike, if applicable. The first digit would be a letter designating the factory that made the frame. Robinson, Dyno, Powerlite and Auburn included) Murray Bike Serial Number Lookup There were at least four companies in Taiwan that made the GT lines : Giant Bike Serial Number Lookup That's the only one I remember off the top of my head. If the number starts with a K, the frame was made by Kinesis. If the frame was made overseas in Taiwan, it gets more complicated. The last four digits are the serialization digits 0000 to 9999 depending on what number the frame was of the years production. The first four numbers should be a two digit month followed by a two digit year. The next part of the serial number is eight numeric digits. If the bike frame was manufactured at the Santa Ana CA facility, the first three or four digits of the serial number should be letters abbreviating the model or size of the frame such as 'XL', 'XXL', CR24, or something like that. It appears that Raleigh recycled many of the older serial numbers in later years, so there are lots of bikes from the 60s and 70s that have serial numbers that would suggest much greater. Note that the serial number information below is fragmentary and incomplete, and many bikes have proven to be much newer than the serial numbers would suggest. Just remove the plastic cable guide to see the number. In the case of some early 80s Treks, the number is under the plastic cable guide on the bottom of the shell. Trek frame serial numbers (SNs) are typically stamped into the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. The first two numbers are the frame size, followed by a letter (M, O, or T), followed by 4 digits. The serial number will be located on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell (where the cranks go in the frame) The serial numbers are hand stamped, so please check the numbers closely! The most Moots serial numbers 7 digits. In 1982, Schwinn moved one-third of its overall production to the Murray factory in Nashville, Tennessee.Here is an email I got from an actual employee of GT: Production of BMX bikes continued into the 1980s. bicycle manufacturers, Murray started making BMX-style bikes for the youth market in the late 1970s.
