Over time the white labels system changed. The location of the labels changed, the format of the information changed and the content of the information changed. Here is a time line of some of the changes.

1976 – first white labels with serial numbers.

1980 – sequence number for serial numbers restart at 0000000.

1982 – label location transitions to the chain stay from the bottom bracket.

1984/85 – a series of white labels with no serial numbers.

1986 – the two lines of information are switched around. The serial number moved to the lower line and the model information was on the top line.

1988 – the frame size number is moved to follow the serial number on the lower line. More information about model designation.

1989 – labels with adhesive backs, not taped to the chain stay.

1990 – End of the “standard” white labels, but some transitional labels without barcodes.

1990 – barcode labels begin. Labels include typed model designation information and serial number in a new format.
