Serial numbers on bicycles produced from 1983 to 1985 are two letters and four digits located at the bottom of the frame. Bicycles produced from 1986 to 1992 have a serial number composed of 11 or more digits, located either at the bottom of the frame or on the upper rear frame fork. Re: Mongoose serial numbers vintagemongoose.com is the answer to all your goose questions! I'm always looking for early Mongoose frames with the lower gusset, 75-76 or early 77.
A quick how-to guide for reading the serial numbers on your mid-school and new school Haro BMX bikes. This is the fourth post in the series. Mongoose, GT and Redline BMX serial number guides are already up on the blog.
As I'm sure you know finding out what year your Haro BMX bike was made is important information. The date will help you find the correct decals for your bike and also help to figure out what your Haro BMX is worth if you are going to sell.
This post is intended to be used as a guide to help you read the Haro BMX serial numbers and find out what year your BMX was built and sold. The serial number guide will help date Haro BMX bikes made between approximately 1990 and 2009. This guide may not work for all Haro BMX bikes built between this time and I have listed below which Haro serial numbers it does work for. I spent quite a bit of time looking into the Haro serial numbers on a few of my bikes as well as checking against other Haro BMX owners to see if my serial number crack was right. As with the other 3 cracks, this holds up too.

For early 1980's Haro serial number information refer here to this post on BMX Museum.
The late 1980’s Haro had a pretty simple serial number system. Generally, the year was stamped as the first part of the serial number.
For example my 1989 Haro Invert has a serial number H8808XXX. The second two digits - the number (88) refers to the year – 1988 and the month of build is referenced as 08 for August.
The serial number below can be read in the same way. July 1989 built bike. This bike would be known as a 1990 model.
1990 to 1999 Haro BMX Serial Numbers
In the early 1990's the Haro BMX serial number system changed, the build month often became a letter from A to L. The basic build year stamp remained - A91H. 91 is for 1991 and H is for August. See the month chart below.
A B C D E F G H I J K L
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec
The example below is slightly different but still has the build year as a number in this case a 4. This makes the frame 1994 built, and listed as a 1995 Haro Group 1 Ci BMX. The CI is referenced at the beginning of the serial.
As with the serial above, some Haro BMX models also had the model name referenced in the serial number. The just the year stamp remained - dropping the decade. Month possibly remaining as number also. CO1271 - this was taken from a 1992 build Group 1. The model stamp always seemed to come before the year. Month of build often after the year.
For a list of model abbreviations refer here to this post on BMX Museum.
The above bike is a 1995 built, 1996 Haro Sport BMX
1995 built, 1996 Haro Group1 Si BMX
2000 to 2009 Haro BMX Serial Numbers
Into the 2000's once again the system changed slightly. However the basic structure remained the same. The number of digits at the start of the serial number increased, possibly as the number of frame models increased frames, but the year and month reference remained.
The above example is a Nov 2000 built, 2001 Backtrail Pro
Mongoose Bmx Serial Number Search
June 2002 built, 2003 Haro Mirra Pro
Build date vs official model date
The Haro serial number will give you the build date of your Haro BMX. Frames were normally manufactured the year before being sold in bike shops. So a build date on a frame of 2003 usually means the bike was sold in 2004. A bike with a 2003 build date will be listed in the 2004 Haro Catalogue and would have the 2004 decal set and parts.

1975 to late 1977 the frames have no brake bridge, and had the coaster brake mount welded on. back then the serials were sometimes only 4 numbers, so looking at the frame was the only way to id the year.
Late 1977 to mid 1979 they added the brake bridge but lost the coaster mount.
Mid 1981 to early 1982 they started using the stepdown dropout with the 2 holes machined in it, thus, the birth of the 'super' dropout.
So here is the serial breakdown.
If it starts with: TC, this means its a team or supergoose. supergoose came in chrome only, the teams were nickel plated with either a blue or red coating. here is an example: TCA0****
UPDATE: it seems that some time around 79-80 and later, some supergooses were made, but not in chatsworth. They must be overseas frames but came in chrome so are supergooses.
That would be a team (or super) january (a) first month, '0' for 1980 mongoose.
Another hint is the supergooses had three (3) holes in the brake bridge after october 1981.
To help make sense of the lettering is simple: if yours starts with CH9****
the 'C' stands for chatsworth', which is where the original goose shop was in cali. If you had the 'T' in front, it meant it was a higher model, (team or super) if you have no 'T' its a motomag or standard version. the 'H' in that serial is the 8th month, which is sept. And the '9' is the last digit of the year.1979. Sept of 1979 mongoose.
Some early serials start like this: CE9 or CD9..these 2 are May of 1979 & April of 1979.
CC1 412709 = March of 1981
Now to the 80's, this is the rough part.
1983: the first looptails come out. *update* the serials this year only give you the year, month, and build number, not the model.
M3-K8634 would be mongoose/1983/K november/ 8634 (build number)
M3-I6885
In 1983 you are on your own figuring out the difference between a cali,or expert, the only other frams were the mitigoose, and supergoose, which are easy to figure out. Other than the cruisers which are easy to i.d. as well.
1984: the serials change again. Like this:
M4CF****
M4JI****
84 is another mystery.frames match but we need more serial entries like these.
1985: gets easier (after emailing numerous owners all over numerous sites)
Here is the clarification i hope:
M5EK**** 1985 expert made in November
M5CE**** 1985 cali made in May
M5CF**** 1985 cali made in June
M5CD**** 1985 cali made in April
This is from a lonnnngg list of 85 goose serials i have been storing and a few hints from a few that claim to know the secret.
1986: gets wierd again, remember this is when the freestyle thing came in, and some companies started selling out or going overseas. I only have one clear example here due to lack of serial posts.
M6EH**** 1986 expert built in april.
I have one goose decade serial, the owner said the decals didnt look like a 1987, heres the serial
M7L*****..1987 right, but made in december 87..so would be considered an 88. but the cali and expert style frames carried the same serial (this is when it got wierd with the sellout)
here is an expert serial from the same year:
M7H*****
We need more serial posts and any info, the mid to late 80's got confusing, this is the rough draft, but i busted my grass figuring out how to tell whats what, at least the most popular 85 goose owners know what they have.
This help with the blue max owners, but the serials are close, so once again, posting pics helps. this is the first draft, maybe we can add some pics to this. thanks avery (LAMBOHAHA),michael (MCATER)and jim (HUTCHHEAVEN) for some great info. this should get more detailed, i will keep working on it over time, email me if something needs to be added..
