    If you have a carbon frame, that sticker may well be your sole indication of a serial number.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Thanks everyone. Good news- I made an appointment for a bike fit for Friday. I'm happy to get dialed in. Hopefully it won't be a problem that I'm doing the fit with only about 6 rides under my belt...I've not figured out all the "problem" areas but there don't seem to be that many so I hope it doesn't matter that I'm doing the fit so early??
    And thanks for the sticker advice

    Yeah, the one that fell off after a few rainy rides?

    Dunno. Never looked on the underside of a carbon bike. Both my bikes are metallic. The Giant has a sticker as well as the stamped serial number. The Charge only has the stamped serial number.

    No, it was definitely the serial number sticker. It was more than "a few rainy rides," I suppose, but my bike's an '07 and the sticker fell off at least three years ago, don't remember exactly when.

    Maybe I could Sharpie the number back on, but I don't suppose that would carry much official weight.
