Figuring out the year (and sometmes month or even day) of manufacture is part of the thrill of the chase. Various models, such as the Peugeot PX-10 or the Schwinn Continental, enjoyed long production runs, during which significant evoution occurred. Knowing a rough timeline for components and frame design gives prospective buyers a reference point to aid their shopping.

Because they don't go shopping or tell us to take out the trash. They don't run up the credit cards. They never yell at you for coming home late.
They demand little and give a lot!
That's why.......
