Quick answer
Genesis frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Genesis is a popular British steel road and adventure brand, so it appears regularly in UK used and theft listings. Run the number through Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, stolen-bike databases and community reports.
Where Genesis stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Genesis road, gravel and adventure bikes. On steel-framed models, check the area carefully for rust as well as the number itself, since Genesis is well known for its steel frames.
Genesis on the UK used market
Genesis has a loyal following in steel road, touring and adventure riding, so the Croix de Fer, Equilibrium and Tour de Fer are its most common used models. These bikes hold value well and are recognised by enthusiasts, so confirm the frame number against a receipt before buying.
