Hi guys...

Can anyone tell me what year this bike is and a rough estimate on value please?

LH shifter only selects 2 spockets
Frame/decals showing signs of age

Many Thanks

can you post the serial number from thebottom bracket shell and it will then be easier.

Cheers
Paul

You can't ask the value of things like this. The moderators will lock your advert. There's a how much is my xyz worth thread, put it there.
Mid 90s, don't think you'll be able to retire on the proceeds.

ops - thought i had put in that section - apologies....

>>> Example serial decoding - not all serials fit this but most do. I reckon it is somewhere 93-95 - Generally go on ebay for £80-100

M74HAB182

The M is the factory.

M is Marvel, F is Fairly and T is Ti sports

7 is the model number. Exclude the Ti bikes and work down the list eg.

1 Team Issue
2 Team Marin
3 Pine Mountain
4 Eldridge grade
5 Bear Valley
6 Muirwoods
7 Palisades Trail
8 Bobcat Trail

4 is the year ending number. That would be 1994.

HA is month and date, but you will need the Enigma machine to decode these. Not really relevant either!

B is the size centre to centre.

A is 14 inches
B is 15.5 inches ( this makes it 17 centre to top)
C is 17 inches
D is 19 inches
E is 20 inches

182 are production numbers that are factory use only, and again require the Enigma machine.

So, from that you can calculate the year, model and place it was made.

looks like a 93 to me.

Yep, 93 to me too. I had a Bobcat Trail from the same year.
