Two serial numbers printed on BB shell?

Posted on
  • Both my bikes have two serial numbers stamped on either side of the BB shell:

    Focus Cyclo-x:
    D145xxx / AV001xxx

    Ridgeback fixie:
    M8071xxx / BB0xxx

    Where xxx is a number that I have masked.

    But which is the serial?

  • on this website they have most of the serial numbers for bikes made in the uk and a few others beside. you should be able to match them up.

    good luck

  • It's not an unreasonable question is it? Two numbers stamped, either both are the serial (which seems unlikely) or it is one or the other?

  • One is the frame manufacturer's, and one is the brand's. Keep a record of them both I'd say. The mfr will have a system of numbering they use, and the brand will have another - so the manufacturer stamps both on the shell.
