Stolen Pinnacle Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Pinnacle frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Pinnacle is the Evans Cycles house brand, very popular for UK commuting and hybrids, so the Evans receipt is the proof of purchase. Run the number through Cyclesite's free lookup for an instant UK check against police records, stolen-bike databases and community reports.
Where Pinnacle stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Pinnacle hybrid, road and gravel bikes. As an Evans Cycles own brand, the original Evans receipt or order confirmation is the cleanest proof of ownership, and it should match the stamped frame number.
Pinnacle on the UK used market
Pinnacle is a high-volume commuter and hybrid brand sold through Evans Cycles, so the Lithium and Cobalt hybrids and the Arkose and Laterite gravel and road models appear often in used and city-theft listings. Confirm the frame number against the Evans paperwork before buying.
