Where can you find the frame number of your bike?

A frame number is a unique code affixed to your bike that identifies the bike. This number is essential for registering your bike and can be invaluable in the event of theft. But where do you find this important song? In this article, we'll explain where to find your bike's frame number and why it's so important to write it down properly.

Where is the frame number on your bike?

The frame number is usually engraved or engraved into the frame of your bike. Here are the five most common locations where you can find the frame number:

1. Under the bottom bracket
   • This is the most common spot. The frame number is located under the bottom bracket, where the pedals meet. To see it, it's best to turn the bike around.
2. On the vertical frame tube near the pedals
   • Sometimes, the frame number is engraved on the vertical tube that runs from the pedals to the saddle.
3. On the rear fork near the pedals
   • The frame number can also be found on the rear fork, close to where the pedals are located.
4. Under the frame tube
   • In some cases, the frame number is located under the frame tube, the horizontal tube that runs from the steering wheel to the saddle.
5. Near the seatpost tube
   • The frame number can also be on the seat post tube, just below the saddle, where the seat post goes into the frame.

Why is the frame number important?

The frame number is the only thing that makes your bike unique. This number is crucial to identify your bike in case of theft. Without this number, you won't be able to file a full police report, and it will be virtually impossible to get your bike back if it's stolen.

In addition, the frame number is important for insuring your bike. Insurers will ask for this number when taking out bicycle insurance so that they can register the bike correctly.
