American made Haro serial numbers and view of the stamping: (Sent in by Duke 01) Noticeably different from the normal factory stampings found on the bottom bracket (will post an example up next time I'm home), I believe only to be found on actual full chromoly American made 'Pro' frames. Serial SRAM These 8-pin low power, high performance SRAM devices have unlimited endurance and zero write times, making them ideal for applications involving continuous data transfer, buffering, data logging, audio, video, internet, graphics, and other math and data-intensive functions. Search for bikes that have been registered on Bike Index. Finding out the age of Rockshox forks. From vague memory there is a serial number under the crown which has a year on it 08XXXXXXX etc. Posted 6 years ago. Finding out the age of Rockshox forks.

Haro Serial Numbers
**************************************************************************
If ANYONE has clear serial number pics they would like to donate to this thread, please PM me! Would like to get as many examples as possible to help everyone out and show the little differences!
**************************************************************************
This list is by no means complete! Hobbes12 asked for a Haro serial list from me months ago and if I don’t at least post this now, nothing will ever get posted!
Please be patient, I will be editing for an easier read the rest of the day as well as adding info from now on.
First and most importantly, ANY serial number on ANY Haro (just about any manufacturer for that matter) can only tell you the date the frame was manufactured and does not always reflect the actual model year the bike was sold under. Model year depends on frame style, color, features, parts, etc.
PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND!!
For anyone confusing an actual Freestyler model Haro with a Master, PLEASE review the pics in the museum here or on affiliate sites.
Also keep in mind that there are many twin top tube frames out there from other companies that can be confused with a Freestyler

Chip @ C4 Labs has provided some very good info!! Apparently ALL of the Freestylers in the museum listed as 1982 models are in fact 83's. I will edit them in the near future.
More good info from Chip @ C4 Labs: 'The only 1982 Haro's in collector's hands are TXX 0154 F, TXX 0156 F, TXX 0245 F, and now ZT 0019 F that I own. Yes, all the 1982 Freestylers listed in the museum are actually 83's. There are several key manufacturing updates they made from '82-'83 but no one had one to compare until a year ago, and the serial #'s were just decoded a few years ago.'
Chip will be providing the rest of the much needed info some time here in the future for everyone to benefit from Thanks again Chip!

2000+ Serial Numbers:
Serial number will contain a model abbreviation and year/month within the first 5 or so digits.
Year codes interchange month/year, year/month with no blatantly discernable pattern.
As an example you could possibly have 2 of the same exact bikes, we’ll use an 03 Function 3 (F3) for example
One serial could read - F3W3
While the other could read - F33W
No difference, same year same model just an oddity seen in the later serials.

T2 LODO : 2000 ditto

2005+ Serial numbers
Have now seen another difference, but I cannot find the post it was in!!
Instead of the date code directly following the model abbreviation Iam fairly sure the date code was another 2 digits past where it should beat If I find the info again, this will be updated.

RockShox Inc. is an American company founded by Paul Turner in 1989, that develops and manufactures bicycle suspensions. The company led in the development of mountain bikes. It is now part of SRAM Corporation.

• 1History

History[edit]

Start[edit]

RockShox was founded by Paul Turner in 1989 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. It moved to California four years later when Steve and Deborah Simons bought out Dia Compe.^[1]

Turner raced motorcycles in his teens. In 1977, at the age of 18, he established a company that sold motorcycle components. He later worked for the Honda Motor Company as factory mechanic for their professional motocross team. This put him in contact with designers of suspension systems for motorcycles and other motocross industry people.

Simons is a former motocross rider in his teens and early twenties and entrepreneur. He developed heat sinks for Koni shock absorbers to lower oil temperatures and then in 1974 he designed a shock absorber for the company that became Fox Racing Shox. He then established his own company Dynamic Enterprises which became Simons Inc. developing pneumatic upgrade kits for suspension forks. This led to his own fork design and manufacture. He had two patents on suspension forks, one which, for upside down forks, he licensed to motorcycle and suspension manufacturers.

In the late 1980s Paul began riding mountain bikes and with his motorcycle experience longed for suspension. Paul began developing the first bicycle suspension fork. In 1989 or 1990, Turner approached Simons for help designing a suspension fork for mountain bikes. Turner had in 1987, with the help of Keith Bontrager, presented a full bike with front and rear suspension at the bicycle industry trade show in Long Beach. The industry was not impressed. Two years later Turner and his wife Christi were manufacturing suspension forks in their garage with parts bought from Simons Inc, who later partnered Turner when Steve and his wife, Deborah, mortgaged their home to buy out Dia-Compe and move manufacturing to Mt. View, California in 1993. The R&D and Marketing groups remained in Boulder, Co. until moving to Mt. Lg g2 download mode xda. View, Ca in 1994 and then Santa Cruz in 1995. Manufacturing and Engineering move to San Jose, Ca in 1995. They worked with Thomas Dooley at TDA in Boulder, CO who created the current RockShox logo, and was the creative director for all marketing and advertising.

Turner brought in Greg Herbold as a test rider and company spokesman. In 1990 Herbold became the first world champion in downhill mountain biking riding one of the first suspension forks for mountain bikes made. In August that year the company manufactured its first 100 suspension forks, the RS-1. The start-up was financed by the East Asian bike component manufacturer Dia-Compe, the founders, and other investors. Dia-Compe manufactured the next series of forks in addition to the original Aheadset,^[2] which the RS-1 utilised. Later Dia-Compe USA was bought out by Simons & Turner who disposed of its shares. From then the forks were primarily manufactured at RockShox in Mt.View, Ca.

In 1992 Turner & Simons, using the RockShox RS-1 design, created a private label fork for Specialized working with Mark Winter. Mark left Specialized a few years later, joining RockShox in 1995.

Growth and IPO[edit]

Eight years after inception the company manufactured and sold a million RockShox forks and had revenues of $100 million. The company went public in October 1996, was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange (ticker: RSHX), and raised 65 million dollars ($72 million before deduction of IPO related costs). The company had 300 employees, most in the company's US factories. RockShox had a market share of 60 percent. ^[1]

Competition and cost savings[edit]

Towards the end of the 1990s competition was fierce and profits were thin.

Rock Shox was one of many brands that marketed suspension forks for bicycles, others were Answer Manitou, Marzocchi and RST. During this time Fox Racing Shox also entered the bicycle industry. As the number of direct substitutes to Rock Shox's products increased, the company experienced difficulties in protecting its position as the leading manufacturer in the business.

In June 2000 RockShox moved production to Colorado Springs, which saved an estimated $5 million a year. In 2001 the company lost $10 million.

SRAM takeover[edit]

In 2002 RockShox defaulted on a loan to SRAM. SRAM took over the company and its debt obligations for $5.6 million. The company had 300 employees in Colorado Springs.^[1] In 2002, production in Colorado moved to Taichung, Taiwan. A small test facility remains in Colorado Springs.

Paul Turner has been nominated for the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame several times but declined.^[3]
