Hoover5Ken Veteran Member Status: Offline Posts: 32 Date: Apr 9, 2013	Permalink Closed The easiest way is to check the date stamped on the hub, 72 6 means June 1972 and so on. This only works if its the original wheel. Early frame numbers are all over the place but can be worked out roughly to within a few months. This is the hub date -- Edited by Hoover5Ken on Tuesday 9th of April 2013 05:41:52 AM __________________

Hoover5Ken Veteran Member Status: Offline Posts: 32 Date: May 20, 2013	Permalink Closed 77- 7 means that the hub was made in July 1977 and is usually a good way to date the bike -- Edited by Hoover5Ken on Monday 20th of May 2013 02:51:04 AM __________________
