Serial numbers are bandied about like VINs that mean something by themselves. Added this link to the canonical question.

| May 25, 2018 at 23:12 | comment | added | user20209 | Ban the damn question! If people want help related to parts and standards for a certain frame, they should ask that question. Logged in for the first time in months today, there are just too many trash questions/same old questions to filter through when looking for anything interesting to answer. | |

| Feb 10, 2018 at 7:44 | comment | added | Criggie♦ | I'm on the fence on this one. On one hand its a "canonical answer" to put those impossible-to-answer questions against. But it is completely opinion which is also off topic. Perhaps we should start a meta conversation about "identify my bike" questions ? | |

| Feb 3, 2018 at 10:03 | comment | added | ojs | I too think that the premise behind this question is wrong. There is no reason why it's wrong to be interested in the make/model/year, the problem is that most of the questions are unanswerable. | |
| Feb 3, 2018 at 2:17 | comment | added | mattnz | @Rider_X - I think its appropriate here - the audience for this question are the ones flooding us with "Identify my bike" who would not visit Meta. Meta has bicycles.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/881/… for further discussion on if we should accept these questions or not. | |

| Feb 2, 2018 at 21:18 | comment | added | Argenti Apparatus | I've been pondering creating a canonical 'is it possible to identify an older generic bike (or frame) with no identifying marks?' question (answer: no, `fraid not), which could also address why it does not matter. | |

| Feb 2, 2018 at 21:13 | comment | added | RoboKaren | I vacillated between making this a meta question (which we could also link to) or a main question. We’re getting flooded by identify my rando BMX questions and we need some way of telling folks that it just doesn’t matter if you don’t know the exact year model and make. | |
| Feb 2, 2018 at 21:09 | comment | added | Argenti Apparatus | I appreciate the thought and logic behind this question, but fear it is significantly opinion based. | |
