Coast King

[Bike boys]

Hello,
I have a coast king lightweight. Serial number:274288343 trying to find the year. Would it be a 1974? Just double checking

You would probably get an answer if you showed a picture. Coast King was a hardware store chain so they didn't make the bikes. I doubt the serial number means anything about the age of the bike. Roger

We'll need pics of the bike.

I am very familiar with coast to coast store cause I work at a coast to coast store bought out by do it best. Like to find old coast kings and show them to my boss thank you

except that Coast King bikes can range from Murray balloon-tire bikes to Huffy 10-speeds, so more description and, better, photos are needed to have a discussion

It's a 3 speed in the hub speed.. I'll have pictures for tonight thanks

A 3 speed and that number could be a 1960s Raleigh built bike. Again the picture would help decide that. Roger

I put that light on there. Found it at the landfill and they were gonna scrap it spent some money and it rides. I wouldn't recommend this one as a daily rider because I personally like ballooners. And I feel more comfortable on a schwinn. But it's a 3 speed hub with the pad brakes. that's all I know of... just thought it was a neat little one

Check the rear hub for a date code. Looks 70's to me
