    Bicycle serial numbers do not contain the information you are looking for. – Greg Hewgill Nov 17 '21 at 19:30
  • Why do you need an exact year? a bike is not like a car where every "year" model might have different parts. Tell us what you're trying to achieve please ? – Criggie Nov 17 '21 at 21:16
  • @Criggie actually, aren't a lot of cars also the same or very similar from year to year until there's a generation change? I think a product cycle may be 3-4 years for modern cars (that was the case with the Honda Fit and Toyota Prius, I believe, and I own/have owned both of these). Anyway, the product cycles for older bikes are longer than that, and the components will generally mount to standard interfaces anyway – Weiwen Ng Nov 18 '21 at 00:36
  • @WeiwenNg true - but 90% of the bikes out there would use shimano or sram. The year is way less important, hence why asking about the underlying need/question/issue and avoiding a X/Y problem. – Criggie Nov 18 '21 at 01:56
  • The first one is from 1803 and the second one is much earlier, probably week 68 of 1662. I'm surprised they've survived – Noise Nov 18 '21 at 15:10

    Does this answer your question? How can I tell what year my bike was made? – Swifty Nov 18 '21 at 21:19

Based on the information provided, the range is somewhere between 1880 and 2021.

If you post a clear and well-lit photo of the bikes we can probably estimate within a decade.
