1993 Cannondale BOTE, take 2, bike for the wife?

[yeti_bomb]

Might have to start a second thread for a related topic. How many on the forum have used the excuse for another bike because they wanted it for their significant other? My case my wife. Who I really do want have a her ride more. But I want her to ride something that I can look at even maybe sneak a ride around town on.

Anyways to continue my love affair for BOTE frames I found a really good deal on a smaller one that I think will fit my wife. Already have placed some parts on it and it feels pretty fun. Thinking singlespeed for around town.

Re:

Blue Salsa skewers. Hyperlite bar. Came with a ATAC stem that was worth the price alone, though I need to cut off a old lock from it. Old red Raceface cranks

Could someone point me in the direction of resource for Cannondale serial numbers? Trying to date the BOTEs that I have. Help appreciated.

Re:

Finished my build of this lovely Beast. Mixture of race face, xt, atac stem, and hyperlite bar. Rides beautifully for a small bike. Which is what my wife complained about. Thinks its beautiful but too small. So the bike must go. She would rather ride my Reaper with Cove skull stickers. Oh well.
