Not sure of the year; you can look up previous years and see if the color scheme is different, or if the components match what was spec'd on that year (derailleur, shifters, number of gears, etc.). It's a fairly entry level hybrid from a major company, so bikes like these don't go huge overhauls very often - it doesn't look much different than.
Cannondale Synapse Serial Number Lookup
If you have a serial number, two lines, one above the other, with
spaces between the left and right sides, and it has letters and
numbers. I was told I should not post the actual serial number
online.... I'm not sure why. But, can anyone tell me how to read it
to know what is the frame size and year?
I will put 'L' for a letter character and '#' for a number character:
LL __________ #####
LL### _______ 3R6W53
I left the last part intact. I know from the marking on the frame that
it is a Cannondale III R. So, I'm guess that the 3R stands for that.
It is a ladies' bike (or so the seller told me) and I usually ride
around a 52 to 54 cm bike frame. So I'm guess the W is for Women's and
53 might be the frame size??? But one of the other numbers on the bike
included a 52. So, I'm not sure.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to read this? I would like to know
specifically what my frame size is and what year my bike is. Oh yeah,
and for purposes of recording ownership, what portion of those numbers
constitute the serial number that I should put with my insurance
records?
Thanks,
Dawn
