Title: Blonde moment!, answers needed......
Post by: Mattdub on November 20, 2019, 10:32 AM
I've had this OG Kashimax MX for years, purchased from my main man plinky I think IIRC.

Can't for the life of me remember how to date them (no dial like Aero versions?), any help much appreciated, looking to trade for minty blue MX but wanted to figure date out first.....

Pics...…….

1985 by the looks of it as there’s no dot above the 5. Not sure of the month as that goes on how many dots are around that number and my old eyes even with my glasses on can’t make it out.

Cheers for this  ;)

Also found it on here.....https://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=583505 where it mentions it's the dating for pre 83 products (before the wheel/clock style with arrows).

Even trying to work it out via that is baffling me!, mine looks to have between five and seven dots around the lower number row (1980/1982?), but I can't find a pattern amongst the ones in the chart!!  ::) :D ;D :-[ :-\ :crazy2: :idiot2:

Top row is the year so apparently it’s the last number to have a dot above it, so 84 not 85 as I posted before. Although I’ve read that this date code system was used up to 1983? Number of dots around the numbers on the lower row determines the month although it’s really hard to see how many dots are round each one.
