Colnago Geo aluminum/carbon road bike. Campagnolo Record 2x10 drivetrain, Campagnolo Record brakes, Chris King headset, American classic post, mavic ksyrium elite wheelset and American classic seatpost, no saddle included. Hard to find colnago with a slick paint job. Check out the little italy boot detail. Frame: Colnago C40 55cm. Fork/Headset: Colnago Star Full Carbon / Chris King NoThreadSet Pink Sottovoce. Crankset/Bottom Bracket: Campagnolo Super Record Ultra Torque Titanium 172.5mm. Hehe, we build almost the same bike in the same time;) how do you know the serial number #186?
I have three Colnagos - Master, Tecno and C50. The Master and Tecno have the serial number stamped on the Right Rear Dropout.
From recent threads, I read that Colnago now place the serial number on the Front Derailleur Mount. But there isn't one on my C50 but I did find a serial number stamped on the Left Rear Droput, just like the photo shown on www.cyclingnews.com.

So .. any particular reasons why, for late model Colnagos, some have SN on the Front Derailleur Mount and others on the Left Rear Droput?
Cisco devices have a standard serial number, from the serial number you can work out it's age and the location it was built.
To decipher the serial number, here's how it is composed.
Cisco S/N format is LLLYYWWXXXX.
LLL = Location code (i.e. FOC = FoxConn China)
YY = Year code (08 = 2004..09=2005..etc..)
WW = Week code (weeks 01 to 52)
XXXX = Base-34 Alpha Numeric Unique identifier (Includes 0 to 9 & entire alphabet except I & O).
Location codes:
CTH --- Celestica - Thailand
FOC --- Foxconn - Shenzhen, China
JAB --- Jabil - Florida
JPE --- Jabil - Malaysia
JSH --- Jabil - Shanghai , China
TAU --- Solectron - Texas
PEN --- Solectron - Malaysia
Year codes:
01 = 1997
02 = 1998
03 = 1999
04 = 2000
05 = 2001
06 = 2002
07 = 2003
08 = 2004
09 = 2005
10 = 2006
11 = 2007
12 = 2008
13 = 2009
14 = 2010
15 = 2011
16 = 2012
17 = 2013
18 = 2014

Step 1: Get a Cisco serial number.
Colnago C40 Serial Number
We'll use FOC0849N1BD.
The serial number can be obtained by looking at the rear of the device and it will be a white sticker with black printed letter, alternatively enter the command 'show version' onto the command line and look for the serial number in the output.
Step 2: Deciper!
FOC0849N1BD
Built in Foxconn, China in 2004 in week 49 of production and it's unique code is N1BD.
Knowing the actual age, not the purchase age, of you Cisco equipment can aid in forward planning for techical refreshing of you equipment.

I think if you explained hot to pull the serial number from the device along with this it would have been more informative. But good information thanks for sharing.
