Hi all

Anyone missing anything from the pic?

Not sure what dot peen is, sounds like a terrible affliction however glad it got somebody’s bike back! 🙂

That looks like good news for somebody.
I feel like I need some dot peen in my life (or at least on the bike).

Anyone missing anything from the pic?

Bloody hell yeah – That looks just like my old Wheelie Bin!

If the perp gets time they’ll likely end up at where I work (if it’s bloke over 21)
He’ll be on basic in a flash! 😈

Never heard of Dot Peen marking before,but after reading that article I’m interested in getting my bikes done.

Dot peen is just centre popping. Use to do it to my spanners, not sure I’d want to centre pop a decent frame though.

Soo.. what is centre popping? 🙂

Hammer and pointed punch. Centre pop a bit of metal before drilling so the drill bit does not slip and mark the paintwork.
You can also get Automatic centre pops that work by just pushing them.

The dot peen marking is like an engraving process. It’s a bit more sophisticated than just punching your house number and postcode into your frame. There’s a link in the article.

Like this kind of marking.
