Maybe you can suggest where the serial number might be hidden.
Hi LisaG5,
if this is a manufactured in Canada frame, then the manufacturer in Procycle. The serial number is probably on the seat tube, non-drive side. Probably on the upper end of the tube if 1988.
However, I have not seen a Monaco model that had a frame manufactured in Canada. It may be a Canadian made frame, I have just never seen one before. The Monaco model frames made in France have had there serial numbers stamped around the BB shell.
Also the HLE decal. I think that is from Franch manufacturing facility in Romilly-sur-Seine. I have taken a look through my data and I cannot find a Canadian frame with an HLE decal. Procycle in Canada may have used the HLE process but I cannot find one with a decal.
Do you have a picture of the silver sticker that indicates made in Canada?
