has anyone found a data base to decode the Cleveland welding bicycle SN
I have three CW bikes would like to put years on them

You'll have to post pics of each bike because they reused numbers. Also check for a Cw or ACw suffix after the number. Post pics of the frame and rear dropouts.

I think you are right, the red appears to be a 36, the girls is 38/39, and the black frame is a 47

No problem.

What are your plans for the bikes?

I dig the fork setup on the red bike (despite the red all over everything )!

The fork on the red bike is called a flying "V" fork.
