Unfortunately the serial number is not visible. Nothing at all on the BB.

Interesting is it repainted?

No it is still the original ight grey Zolatone but I cannot see the slightest sign of any numbers.

Wow you're right. It's like one of those op tical illusion things where you stare at a picture and see nothing but then all of a sudden you can see it. I went back outside and set the bike up so the light was coming at an oblique angle and as if by magic the numbers appeared!

If that is M91504 though it does not conform to the serial numbers given in the post above. ie. Palisades Trail should be 7 and there is no model denoted by 9.

The close ups do show the Zolatone quite well though. Any advice on how to deal with rust spots and scratches on it?

First there was steel, then came aluminum, and all that was missing was titanium for a happy family.

Most of the time that formula doesn’t work, they mixed and matched frames after they were stamped as they needed different model, and then even made up numbers now and again, it’s a great guide but catches many people out, when it doesn’t work

60% of the time, it works every time.
