Murray Bikes Serial Numbers

1982 Murray X20c

1982 Team Murray X20C

Adam Murray serial numbers for Sear bikes appear to follow more than one defining pattern. Much of what has been offered up to date for decoding the numbers is based on counting backward from the serial numbers attached to 1960’s bikes and using the information on the bottom bracket to divine a catalog number that will reference the bike in the Sears Consumer catalogs. Look for any identifying marks on the bike, including the manufacturer's name and a model number. Model numbers or serial numbers are found on the rear stays, crank or headset. If you find the manufacturer, it’s easy to use the model number in determining the type of bike that you have.

That serial number corresponds to a J.C. Higgins. The 46971designates that its a Deluxe, 24' wheel, chrome frame, girls bike,with single speed hub and springer fork.

These J.C.Higgins bicycles were made by Murray for Sears

Nothing in the serial number indicates model year, but thisparticular model was sold in 1964 and 1965, the first two years ofthe five year (64-68) production period for Sears Spaceliners. From1966 through 1968, the design was significantly different(different cowling and light, no top tube tank, different chainguard, different seat).

The serial number on a Schwinn 220 recumbent exercise bicycle is located on the underside of the rear stabilizer bar (the short bar underneath your seat).

Yeah, I know... most difficult to access spot on the whole machine... of course!!

What year was a Murray Monterey bicycle serial number D6017128 made?

The name of the company was Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company- not 'Murray of Ohio' as bicycle web sites seem prone to say. It NEVER had such a name and how it got morphed that way in the hobby and the Internet is a mystery. And Murray's serial numbering system had absolutely NOTHING to do with Schwinn's system.

Who is the owner f AP31wb7790 bike?

Bicycles doesn't have anything near the VIN registration of a car or motorcycles. It is hugely unlikely that you'll be able to trace a bicycle owner through the frame serial number. Very rare (and expensive) bicycles are sometimes registered to the owner by the shop selling them, or by the manufacturer. Some owners do note their serial number and MIGHT report this to the police IF their bicycle gets stolen. But far from all.

How can you tell how old a West Coast Chopper bicycle is?

You can usually find the year of a Huffy bicycle (I believe they were the only manufacturer of West Coast Choppers bikes) by combining the first digit of the serial number with... some guess work. The first digit of the serial number equals the last digit of the year. So... if your serial number starts with 6, then the bike could be made in 1986, 1996, or most likely, 2006 (this is where the guess…

How do you found out the make of a cycle from the serial number?
