David Bilenkey asked: Where would this 'date-code' be found? And on what parts?

David,

Virtually all parts are stamped with the code.

Crank arms are usually around the pedal threading, on the back brake calipers are on the back, usually beside model code rear derailleur on the pulley cage seat post on the lower shaft hubs on the flange, between holes bb on the spindle, cups on the face cassettes stamped on the individual cogs, don't confuse the grouping marks for the date code even chain links can be marked too

the stamping is usually "lighter" and in smaller letters than the other model marks, in a different font
