GT Serien Nummern und Rahmenidentifikation

[frozenfrogz]

Hallo!

Auf der Suche im Netz bin ich auf folgendes gestoßen:

Regarding GT serial#s:

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.

The next part of the serial number is eight numeric digits. The first four numbers should be a two digit month followed by a two digit year.

The last four digits are the serialization digits 0000 to 9999 depending on what number the frame was of the years production.

If the frame was made overseas in Taiwan, it gets more complicated. If the number starts with a K, the frame was made by Kinesis.

That's the only one I remember off the top of my head.

There were at least four companies in Taiwan that made the GT lines :

Robinson, Dyno, Powerlite and Auburn included)

The first digit would be a letter designating the factory that made the frame. There might also be a second letter digit specifying the factory that assembled the bike, if applicable. 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.

Before 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. I had compiled a list of factories and their codings, but I think my copies of the document are in storage right now. If I come across those things, I will email a copy to you.

The information might also come in handy for deciphering other makes because the factories in Taiwan make bikes for a lot of different companies.

. I am tinkering around with the idea of starting to make my own frames, kind of on a "one-off" basis. I am also teaching welding at a local community college.

By 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. Who? Do you remember Race, Inc.? That was Gilbert.

He also did the original PK Ripper for SE Racing. History, man.

It might be a really cool thing if I can track down Gilbert now and interview him for you.

THAT is the kind of stuff that belongs in the BMX Museum!

Later. I'll write you when I get a chance. Dan Garcia

Das habe ich von hier: http://www.bmxmuseum.com/1html/gtserial.html

Ich versuche heraus zu finden, wie die einzelnen Serien Nummern zu interpretieren sind.
Ich fände es nett, wenn ihr (also alle die was darüber wissen) mir dabei helfen würdet.
Sobald ich weitere Informationen finde, werde ich diese natürlich posten.

Außerdem währe es vielleicht hilfreich, wenn alle GT Besitzer ihre genaue Rahmenbezeichnung (mit Produktionsjahr falls bekannt) und die dazugehörige Serien Nummer posten würden.

Meins: GT lightning Ti (Produktiondatum unbekannt, so um ´98) SN: S7IY00104

Desweiteren habe ich im Internet folgende Modelle als gestohlen gemeldet gefunden:

GT Outpost Trail 1995 SN:SY5H000462
GT Aggressor 2000 SN:RZ7901823
GT Palomar 2000 SN0DM68514

Alles zurück, die Tequestas von mir sind doch keine 91er, sondern 89er.

 

[thrillseeker]

Wow,

die entpuppen sich ja mehr und mehr als waschechte Oldtimer!

Seit wann baut denn GT überhaupt MTBs? Sorry, neuer Thread!
