What year was a Fuji bike with serial number SA021319 made?

Answer 1

If it jives with the look of the bike, I'd say your bike was made in January 1980 based on the info below: For Fuji bikes:

SERIAL NUMBERS 1980-1987*:

Serial number format WXYZZZZZ where;

W = a letter, presumably indicating a Fuji facility or contractor. To date, samples have included F, I , J, K & S.

X = a letter, indicating the calendar month of manufacturer (A = January, B = February, C = March, etc)

Y = a number, indicating the last digit of the calendar year of manufacture (0 = 1980, 1 = 1981, 2 = 1982, etc.)

ZZZZZ = a five digit number sequence, probably indicating frame number during month

Example: FB125349 indicates the 25,349th frame manufactured during February 1981.

*The serial number format may extend beyond 1980-1987, in either direction, but to date, data samples lie within this range.

Answer 2

your frame was the 10,026th bike made in June, 1982 (the second I is a 1).

this is the standard info about fuji bike serial numbers...
