Serial Number Location. When referring to your serial number, use the top number, in this case, GJ-B1-030-18014.

The serial number on your Cannondale bicycle consists of a series of numbers and letters engraved into the underside of the bottom bracket. Contained in the serial number are codes representing the date of manufacture, frame style and size, color, and one sequence of numbers which is unique to

your bicycle.

Please take a few minutes to record your bicycle’s serial number (fig. B) for your own records, and to fill out and send in the warranty registration card located in the front of this book. Late model bikes will have the serial number printed adjacent to a bar code label (fig. C) on the bottom bracket shell. Please record that eight digit number. It is important that we are able to contact you regarding your bicycle.

However, you should still keep your serial number and original sales receipt on file in a safe place, in case of theft. It’s your only proof of purchase to your insurance company and the police, and it makes any claim easier to process.
