I have acquired a Gary Fisher Capitola, in some abandoned property. It looks good, and besides a brake adjustment, everything seems to work. Seems to be a 21 speed.
The frame indicates girl's bike, and there is a sticker that says 15".
What does that measurement refer to?
I would also like to determine its age, does anyone know where I find the numbers that could indicate when it was built?
Any help I can get with this will be appreciated.

Rick

Sorry but I don't know anything about that bike in particular.

It was just sitting there?
