However if they are Calienti's I doubt this code interpretation is correct. If they were manufactured outside the US<br />it will be harder to break the code. I would check the components for dates. Check the back side of the brake caliper arms and both derailleurs. You may have to remove them to do this properly.Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986498277947032639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-44061213532388907242013-08-27T23:25:50.519-04:002013-08-27T23:25:50.519-04:00I have a blue 24" serial # GB804849 and Blue ...I have a blue 24" serial # GB804849 and Blue 26" serial # GM721XXX calienti look like big and little brother.What year are they?<br />David<br />davidddonahue@charter.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155039544820521548.post-55107634571937600082012-07-14T23:13:26.258-04:002012-07-14T23:13:26.258-04:00Thanks Chris,

I replaced with the Kendra tires to keep the original look. Have had it for close to twenty years and is still in great riding condition. It is great to see another one out there.
