My CSI was ordered in late 1996 and I took delivery of the frame and F1 fork in January 1997. The serial number is CS-56-808. It's a 56 x 56 stock frame.
As an additional note that goes along with the broken seat lug thread, mine broke in late 2008. Serotta repaired the frame and repainted it. I took delivery in May 2009. The attached pix are of a previous paint job, after I had Serotta replace the top tube cable stops and repaint in early 2007.

During the original repair/repaint, it was discovered that the original F1 fork had developed a slightly loose dropout. Serotta replaced that fork with an Ouzo Pro at no extra charge. The color was slightly darker than the original Midnight Blue. The current color is closer to the original-- seen in this thread, not built up.
