Yes - the Dave Yates, M Steel Cycles and Joe Waugh frames have the number stamped on the bottom bracket also on the steerer tube - numbers starting with MS for M Steel Cycles. The forks I have which most likely came from the frame mentioned are numbered MS998 - from about 1984 ish. I was reading a review in Cycling Weekly magazine from April 1986, of a Joe Waugh bicycle and it was frame number MS1701. So M Steel (Dave Yates) had built 1700 frames by the beginning of 1986.

hey, I just got donated this frame due to a crack in the seat tube. I was going to cut it up and make a bamboo bike, but I think it could be a repainted colnago that would be worth getting fixed.... any ideas what it is and what it is worth? It has campag dropouts and a cinelli bottom bracket. Also all of the lugs feature this triangle shape which i think is colnago but i'm not sure.
Hi Wardy - I just spotted this being a newcomer to this forum -
Joe Waugh frames have a seriel numbers like MS0000 on the bottom. I bought a set of forks from a guy on ebay and I could have bought the frame as well (probably this frame). The forks are now going onto my Joe Waugh which did not have forks.
A very interesting project Wardy - it'll be good to see how it turns out - you could maybe let us know what the final cost of the project is and what sort of weight the frame is when finished. Just another thought after reading how to do it, it must have been possible to do a fiberglass repair to the damaged seatpost and rebuild it as well.
