Stolen Ridley Bikes: UK Frame-Number Check (Free)
Last updated
Quick answer
Ridley frame numbers are stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket. Ridley is a Belgian road, gravel and cyclocross marque with a strong UK following, so it appears regularly in 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 Ridley stamps the frame number
On the underside of the bottom bracket shell on the vast majority of Ridley road, gravel and cyclocross bikes. The number is stamped or etched into the frame and is what stolen-bike databases use.
Ridley on the UK used market
Ridley has deep cyclocross heritage and a strong road and gravel range, so the Fenix and Noah road bikes, the Kanzo gravel models and the X-Night cross frames are the most common used examples. Carbon race frames are higher-value targets, so confirm the frame number against a receipt before paying.
