Mid to late 70's, based on fender length, cert. sticker on seat tube (don't recall exactly when that started), reflectors, and US built rear dropout and fork crown style. # is probably under the crank bracket or covered by a fender brace.

That Skybolts looks to be in really nice condition. Has your wife taken it for a ride yet?

 

[zibo26]

She rode it and says it is a bit uncomfortable. But otherwise it is in perfect condition. Almost no rust and the paint is just beautiful.

Was it the seat that was uncomfortable?

 

[zibo26]

Yeah, the seat... otherwise is a smooth ride. I'll post some more pics tomorrow.

I see a BMA/6 decal on the seat tube, which narrows it down to 1971-79. Murray discontinued their middlewight line around 76-77, then brought back the Monterey model as a retro balloon tire cruiser. -Adam

Maybe the seat is too low, that makes for a uncomfortable ride. The seat looks pretty comfortable from the pic. The bike even has the plastic axle protectors they used to put on new bikes. Usually they put the serial number on the left rear dropout.
