A while back I spend some time investigating how to read mid-school and new school serial numbers on Mongoose BMX bikes.
After buying and restoring a number of older mid-school and new school GT BMX bikes I also need to to figure out how to crack the GT serial numbers to get the same build date information.
It didn’t take long to realise there were many similarities when looking at GT serial numbers and Mongoose serial numbers. The placement and sequence of the numbers is stamped in the same place under the bottom bracket. Many of the GT serial numbers start with the same letter sequence. After a bit of digging around online I soon realised that GT BMX bikes and Mongoose BMX bikes were owned by the same company and also made in the same factories in Taiwan. In fact look closely at many Mongoose and GT BMX’s from the around 2000 to 2010 and you’ll see many similarities in frame design and geometry. This is probably not true for all of the bikes in either range, but there were a number of bikes that were identical apart from the logo stamping. Anyway that’s a post for another time.
As with the Mongoose serial numbers there are many posts from forum members around the world on old-school GT serial numbers, but very little on mid-school or new school.
Of course there are also many variations in GT serial numbers and I have focussed mainly on cracking the new-school numbers for now. That is bikes made between 2000 and 2010, and those bikes made in the Taiwan factories with specific serial number sequences. There will be bikes that are different, if you have any examples of where this crack doesn’t work, add a comment below.

Please note: The GT serial number will give you the build date of your GT BMX. Frames were normally manufactured the year before being sold in bike shops. So a build date on a frame of 2003 usually means the bike was sold in stores in 2004.
