    so i have been given a roadie frame and it has no number on the BB tube.
    well there are three numbers stamped in the middle. cant remeber wht but its no frame number thats for sure.
    did frame numbers star getting used at a certain time? this is (i guess an 80's frame-poss 70's) Its fairly light but woundnt say it was a superlight hand made special or owt…..??

    Not all frames have a frame number – nothing more complicated than that really

    Cos it's really special, rare, etc.. ! 😉

    I've got an ex-display Litespeed mtb from back in the early 90s that has no number. Some bikes have the number on the dropouts, some have no number. Don't know if there was ever any standardisation of numbering so your 3 digits could indeed be the frame number.

    It will be those three numbers. Unlikey that an individual frame builder is going to bother stamping in more numbers than needed.

    My Gios has only two numbers and my Nicolai had three.
