Just bought an Orange 5 frame on ebay, previous owner says it's a 2010 model, but I can't find a serial number on it.
Anybody know where it is?

Bottom Bracket - bottom off [ 2009 ] is anyway

I see it, but it is so faint I can't read it, possibly been painted over.

Sound fishy to anyone??

I've had 2 P7 frames and both of them had dead obvious serial numbers.

Smells fishy right enough.

Regularly get brand new ones with difficult to read frame numbers, so not necessarily dodgy.

Five frame has two serial no's one for front triangle and one for swing arm, my bb one is ok to read not sure about swing arm one. They don't have to match

I think I've managed to read the BB number, just, a six digit number. Can't read the swinging arm one although I can see something that could be numbers under one the drop outs.
I'll check with Orange on monday to see if they can tell what year it is. Thanks.
