The serial number is the key to finding out what year cannondale you have. Once finding out the year, cross reference with the correct catalog to find out which model you have. Determine with the color (USA and Europe have different colors) and parts in the catalog. Remember, a bicycle can be made the year before for the following year. The next part of the serial number is eight numeric digits. The first four numbers should be a two digit month followed by a two digit year. The last four digits are the serialization digits 0000 to 9999 depending on what number the frame was of the years production. If the frame was made overseas in Taiwan, it gets more complicated. Modern Cannondale serial number breakdown? From what i gather the frame size is coded into the serial number and want to know what size frame I actually have. When I peeled all the stickers off of it when it was new I took off the frame size sticker which said J for jumbo and there was another sticker under it that either said L or XL, forget. The serial number on its own is basically useless. They're not like VINs on cars: there's no global database of them and they're not even guaranteed to be unique. Each manufacturer of frames uses whatever scheme they want, and the serial numbers are purely for their own stock control.

If you’ve included the code EN14781 when entering your bike’s serial number, you’re not the only one!
Cannondale Frame Sizes
A number of bikes have been uploaded onto the system with EN14781 listed as either the ‘frame serial number’ or ‘other serial number’.
We’ve discovered that EN14781 is actually an import number found on many bikes, including (but not limited to) the brands of Cannondale, Cervelo BMC, Scott, Focus and Bianchi. For example, Cannondale’s website states “Do not enter the EN14781 number found on the bike’s downtube; this is an import code present on all bikes.”
We therefore encourage you to look again at your bike and, if possible, locate and note down the legitimate serial number, should it be visible on your bike, and update your details on Bikelinc accordingly.
