3 digits serial numer "123"??
Hi, I just checked the serial number of a bike i bought years ago, and i can only see 3 numbers: 123.
I'm confused. What does it mean about the bike? (sorry i cannot send a picture yet, i just subscribed to the website)
Thank you

=================================================
It depends on the bike.
Large manufactures like Trek, Schwinn, and others usually have long serial numbers.
Smaller manufacturers often have shorter numbers. Or may have model specific numbers.
Some manufacturers including Colnago did not put serial numbers on some of their early bikes. But, if the bike was given a police tag, it would have gotten an assigned serial number.

such a low serial# will definitely increase its value. Good job you kept it in such pristine condition 👍
