Cannondale Serial Numbers
Does anyone know how you can tell the model and model year of a Cannondale bike just from the serial number? I need to find out whether a bike is the 2016 model or the 2017 model and searching online has drawn a black because the exact same colours and pattern were used on both the 2016 and 2017 bike.
