Is there any way to determine the year a Santana tandem was built, based on the serial number? I have a seller who knows virtually nothing about his bike.
Thanks all

Call Santana and ask them about the serial no. I know that with Co-Motion the last two numbers in the serial no is the year the frame was manufactured. Santana would be able to tell you, good luck.

Here's some information that I got from a friend who talked to Santana 5 years ago.
Serial number is 5 digits long.
1st digit is model year. "X"=2000, "Y" =2001, etc. (no letter "O")
2nd digit is frame material. "T"=titanium, "K"=TeamAl, etc.
3rd digit is frame size. 2/3=sm. 4/6=med. 7/8=lg. 9=xlg
4th&5th digit is serial number. "01"=first one built that year.
To verify, give Santana a call. They are very friendly.

Where is the serial number located on Santana tandems? I'm not seeing one on my frame, including the under side.
