Ok once you have the year figured out, should be pretty easy since most frames are date coded in the serial number. You may not have the correct decals or remember which ones were used. Remember bikes made late in the year were usually the next years model. So if your bike was made say 1089, it could very well be a 1990 model. You may have to look at survivors and their SN or tiny details in the frame or parts group to be certain.
This list shows you the correct decals for the different year Robinsons. As always a work in progress.
My Robinson pro xl was made in 08-98. The decals match the 99 model. Is it a 99 or a 98?
Help me please = o
I also need a decal kit as I am restoring it..
Hi there! Thanks for a great website. I’ve just seen a Robinson that I’m thinking of buying. Looking at your decal sets and reading your frame descriptions, I think it’s a post-1996 model – the frame number is YC96090109. All the main parts are GT though it has 20 x 1.5 Weinmann rims which I’m not sure were standard. Does anyone have any thoughts about model year and those rims?
Cheers! Mick
Looking for decals for a 1988 Robinson Cruiser. Anyone know where I might find them?

Hello All,
Can someone help me identify this bike? The serial number is YC96080240. There are no stickers on the bike, but by looking at the shape of the left over adhesive, I think it’s a Robinson. Not 100% sure what model though, that’s what I desperately need to know. I originally thought it was a Rebel, but now I’m thinking it could be a Pro XL. You’re help is much appreciated. You can email me at: vannaksao26@gmail.com
Thanks,
Vannak
Ed,
I’ll let you know if I find those decals. I’m also looking for Rebel, or Pro XL decals.

I’m trying to identify my bike, just picked it up. Ser # is YC96080240. From what I’ve found so far in my research is that it was made out of country, and its a 1996 model. No stickers, just left over adhesive. The shape of the adhesive on the down tube looks like its “Robinson”. The top tube, I’m not sure. At first I thought “Rebel”, but then it looked more like “Pro XL”. Can anyone help?
Vannak
Did they have a Pro XL sticker? Off the top of my head they only had Rebel, SST and MX
I know the also had Pro and XL frames but forget what decal they had. Im thinking it just said Team maybe.
Im pretty sure the Rebel never had a full closed loop.
I don’t think the welded on Robinson tag is unique to the GT Era. I had one on my 84. Robinson was doing this earlier than that, but on the downtube.
I think it may have been added only when GT began making the bikes is what I meant.
Im pretty sure thats when they began appearing.
GT was making them before buying the company.

I am restoring my old Robinson BMX bike for my son. I bought it sometime between 1979 and 1980. It has the R stamp so it must be a 1979 at the earliest. The serial on the bottom of the crank case is 050244. Can you tell what year it would be from the serial number? Thanks!
dont believe you can tell the years apart of the R gusset by serial number but I could be wrong. If anyone knows the correct answer feel free to chip in.
