December 9, 201213 yr When buying a new bike how can you tell how old it is from just the bike thanks.
December 9, 201213 yr Normally from the frame number, depends on the make of bike how you read the VIN Search box is your friend
December 9, 201213 yr just cut through the frame and count the rings............or is that just trees I forget.
December 9, 201213 yr All the plastic parts(bodywork,mudguards) have the date they were made molded into the back of them. I would check the front mudguard one first.If they match with the other dates on the bike then everythings cool.
December 9, 201213 yr also check the date on the wheel rims. it could have had the wheels replaced but it is a good indication
December 10, 201213 yr Also, if you know the make of bike you're going to look at do some research on the internet first and identify which year had which colour plastics & decals, different forks etc etc
December 11, 201213 yr also check the date on the wheel rims. it could have had the wheels replaced but it is a good indication Tyres have a date on too if its applicable.
