We've all been there mate.
Dating a bike.

Nothing wrong with that, but the society won't accept you.

hi,
i do see a RD-M510 rear derailleur, sold from 2000-2004
and a Marzocchi MZ Comp also available sometimes 2002-2005,
2004 sounds probably right.

Which would go with a youngsters serial number F407
2004 July and put it into '2005 models' in the shops.

Depends on how far it's willing to go on the first date...

To give you some idea, it'd be like dating a 6th former, they're still in full time education. I suppose it could be an Apprentice at college, this is a Kona.
