Check inside of the frame hinge to see if there's a serial number etched (not stamped). The letter code will be meaningful to owners of these bikes. Also, check the rear hub for the number code which refers to the hub's date of manufacture--not to the date of the bike's manufacture date. The code format should be XX-X, or something similar for year/month.
