Go to the models section of the site. Scroll to your model and look at the color options for each year. Match yours to the description.
Another option is to find a 2 letter code on your drivetrain components. It'll be on the inside/backside of each component. Google 'shimano date codes' and match the codes. Thst will tell you the bike is no older than the oldest component(assuming its all original).
