Bike Serial Number....

Post by Felix »

Where do you find it? I thought it would be where the pedals went through the frame.

Amy way. Baby sitting a scabby wee dug just now and when out last night for its last pee i came across a bike in waste land behind the houses. It was propped up at the back fence of a family who are nothing but bits of shite. Drug dealers and professional shop lifters and whatever other crap of the day seems to visit this shit house. So my thinking as the bike had no reason to be there unless stollen then im going to ruin some dollop of shits fun. When i get home later today ill phone the police but unsure if they will want the serial number to check a data base. If not stolen they will still take it away yes? I have no room to keep the thing.

The bike

I'd usually expect it on the silver part on the right of your pic, on the underside.

However, that's quite an old bike... so i don't know when that was a thing.

I've seen it around the bottom bracket shell too, where you cranks go in, again, the silver bit right in the middle.

p.s. whilst that may be someones pride and joy, it's a £20 bike on a good day... i doubt the Police will care much.

I did get the impression they were not that bothered. They will send someone round to collect it was the girls last words. I doubt today as we are in a town with a part time police station and that shut about 2pm

Google your local bike kitchen. They'll fix and give it to a kid or homeless person.
