I don't usually start a post, so I was waiting for this opportunity: could the location be a tipoff of where the bikes are being sourced now? In the last six months, I've heard on two occasions that late model C50s are being made in the Far East. The source of these remarks are LBSs, who have no motive in either direction. The LBSs were dead on back in early 2006, about the 2006 Pinarello Gallileos being made in Taiwan. Can anybody confirm or deny these claims? You are usually on the money. My C50 is supposed to be a 2005 frame, and the s/n is on the left rear dropout.

V1-r and CF10 bicycles with the following serial numbers: YT14I1746R.

Digging up an old thread here. I have a 2007 C50. I can't find a serial number anywhere. I looked on the front derailleur plate, not there (I did find the word EVEREST though, likely the name of the plate manufacturer) I also looked on the inside of the left rear drop out, not there either, unless it's under paint and grime. I did find some very good pics on the webs of both the front derrailleur plate and rear drop out SN locations, so I do know what they should look like. So if any of you happen to have a 2007 C50 and know where to look, Please let me know.

Or if Colnago didn't put Serial Numbers on all of their frames??

I have people asking me at my rides but have no answer. Any info or ideas would be appreciated.

It most often is year - month - day but can be year - week of the year (01 - 52) or some variation like that.

Msi ms 7529 ver 1.6. My Tommasini is a 2 digit year and month followed by a 3 digit production number.

I cannot find it on the website links from KrateKraig so I'll try the serial number. I have another Colnago but it does not have serial numbers on it.
