You can try looking through the catalog section on my website>> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/forums/74/Wheel-Goods-Lawn-mower-catalogs#.VvPOoOIrKwU

It's a Murray Parkcycle sold through Sears. unfortunately you can't date Sears serial #s. You can go to my site and look for something close in the Murray catalog section> But I would guess late 50's early 60's. >>>http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/directory#.VghqVmufCcx

Best bet is to enter the serial #s into the Sears site and see if it comes back as a factory 10 spd bike. I looked in all the Sears ads I have from 1966-70 and couldn't find a 20" Murray made 10 spd bike.. here is the link to the sears site>>>...

That's a Great Bike. An looks to be a First year Rail...

MO7 would make it a 1967, the first year for the Eliminators. . As far as value. condition is everything. the paint on the frame looks nice, but the guard has some wear. I would put it at 200-300, more if you can find the right person that has to have it.

It's a Mini Model T

found most of the missing parts...

Thanks. that's some great info...

This is where I'm confused. All my research suggests that S would indicate 1960, and 1953 would be a J according to the catalogs i have> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/200/1953-Murray-Bicycles-catalog#.VdBxUq2fCcw...

Thanks...

Can anyone help ID the year of the X53 I just picked up?.. Looks to be originally a black frame bike.. I have the serial #s but it seems these all had the same #s regardless of year? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks. Eddie

Well since I'm a Murray guy, I would say the MarkII Eliminator would be my choice, Not for durability or quality, but mainly for styling and wild factor.To me the Schwinn's have been the Volvo of bicycles.Because They were built more towards durable and safe then they are towards styling &...

Nice!!! And yes 71-72 with it having the reflectors on the fork, and the BMA sticker.

If you like pedal cars. I just added the 1963 Murray Wheel goods catalog to the site> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/199/1963-Murray-Wheel-goods-catalog#.VMMMGi4h9L8

I always thought Schwinn should have jumped on the Wagon with the Duel Fade Color combo's!

Very Kool! as far as the Rims, I'm not sure if rollfast made their rims in house, or used an outside source. try looking on them for any markings, or stamps

40-50 tops..

Yeah I'm not sure either where the Crusaders where sold through. I bought the head badge from Rob E just Thought it fit nice with the drag O0on name.

This one is a 1970... here is what it looked like before>

Been awhile since I have posted here. so thought I would post a picture of my latest build. This started out as a F1 Eliminator coaster brake 20"x20" bike, I converted it into a 20"x16" With some Kool upgrades. Crusader Drag- O0on

sounds like a kool bike, any pictures?

Just a guess, But I would say a Murray built, sold through Sears..

here are some of my favorites..

Unfortunately I don't have that actual catalog. the one's with the * after them are one's people have emailed me, or I found online.

Updated with some new catalogs....

Here is the Sears ad for your bike. This one is from 1967. The Shifter is correct, Your just missing the housing and black knob.

1964 ad

judging by the redlines around the tires I would say late 60's to early 70's. http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/135/1969-Murray-wheel-goods-catalog#.UutSfdGPKYE

Added the 1969 and 1972 Wheel goods catalogs> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/forums/74/Wheel-Goods-catalogs/Wheel-Goods-catalogs#.UutQONGPKYE

Yes that is an original Schwinn ad for the New Fastback. The bike used in that picture is a prototype. if you look close you will see a few differences from the actual production bike. Chain guard has no chrome strip and rear mounting is different, shifter looks to be longer and more pointed at...

Worked on the Murray site today! Added better scans to the 1969 Murray Bicycles catalog> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/18/1969-Murray-bicycles-Catalog#.UuV_29Hn-YE and added a 1969 Murray mark II Catalog>...

this is from the 1970 Murray Wheel goods catalog. and this is from the 1971 Wheel goods catalog.

No problem. The problem is, it depends on the year and retail store it was sold through to be able to tell what head badged they used on it. the serial #s tell the story on Murray bikes.

Great job! These are Funky Kool bikes!

Added the 81, 82 and 83 catalogs also, will be adding the 85, 86 and 87 as soon as I get them scanned..

check out the Murray site. you may be able to figure out the year it was made> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/115/Decoding-Murray-serial-Numbers#.UtAG3tF3uYE

this is my favorite one. 1969 Murray Mark II Eliminator. these came in all different colors And options.

The Wildcat didn't come out until 1965. Check your serial #s and you should be able to ID it here> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/115/Decoding-Murray-serial-Numbers#.UtAG3tF3uYE

Just a heads up. I have added the 1979-80 Murray catalogs to the Murray bicycle site. if you love old Road bikes, BMX cruisers and Banana seat bikes, check it out here> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/forums/68/Murray-Catalogs-Ads/Murray-Catalogs-Ads?page=2#.UtAF6tF3uYE

check out the Murray site! Tons of info and pictures> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/directory#.Uo9lXdF3tgV

Looks to be a 1976 Murray Ruff & tuff> http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/40/1976-Murray-Catalog#.UooyBtF3tgU http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m606/murrayeliminator/1976%20Murray%20Catalog/103.jpg?1299423985

Murray Made, prob a 1965 or 75, sold though gambles deprtment stores! http://murrayeliminatormusclebikes.yuku.com/topic/46/1965-Murray-Wheel-goods-Catalog

I have even heard for guy's cutting the rear drop outs off of early less desirable bikes and welding them on S/R frames. so you really need to know what to look for when buying these bikes! Another reason to collect un restored bikes or Nice original Survivers!...;)

I have two of the 10 speed shifters for those with the duel levers. But no 5 speed ones..

See how these look bigger and the font is different?

Those #s don't look right to me, looks like it may have been restamped?...

Looks like a Junior stingray.

Do you have any Murray Catalogs?.

Murray Built bike sold through different retailers
