Help With A Hiawatha

[Stephanie Smithson]

Hello,I just acquired this hiawatha tonight and I know nothing about this brand. Upon a little research, since it has the sticker by the seat, that would make it a 1971-79???? The serial number I got off the tube is 45011X30147365 (I think. It's hard to read). Can anyone help me out with the year? Is it missing anything? Value? Thank you for any info.

It is a Murray built bike for Hiawatha which was the brand name of Gambles hardware store sold bicycles. Roger

Thanks Roger. Any idea on how cheap the value is?

I'd say $100-$200, its in pretty nice shape. It would make a lady a nice rider.

I would say cut those numbers in half ($50 to $100) and expect it to take a long time to sell. At least I give away more girls bikes than I have ever sold and try never to buy them. Roger

Yes, the BMA/6 certification ran from '71-79, I'd put this bike at the earlier end w/that chain guard.

1971-74 Murray-built Hiawatha. I see maybe $50-$75 if you clean it up REALLY nice.

Partsguy I think I said that 10+ days ago. Roger
