Whats it worth?
Hello -
We have a BMX I was told was the "last American-made BMX.
There is a number behind the seat post neck with 4130 stampted into it. and the reg number under the sprocket housing starts with YC - 9706 0027.
Thank you in advanced
Ross

So what do you want us to do? Your post wasn't really clear about that in any way, shape, or form. If you want to know what brand/model/year it is, the guys at BMX Museum can look that up for you in a jiff. And there are definitely still frames/completes made in the US, and 4130 is among the best types of steel to build a bike out of. How old is this frame?

We are curious about the value - the frame is (going by the above registration numbers) from 1997
We are interested in selling it and would like to have some information before approaching bike shops etc. I can put some pics up if you think it would help get a good appraisal.
Thanks again. and I apologize again for not being more specific in my question

So did you look it up, or are you just guessing based on the sn? The manufacturer of that thing is whats going to be the biggest factor in its worth.
