Surly Long Haul Trucker Deluxe Serial Number Mystery?

Hi everyone,

I have a Surly LHTD frameset. Identical to the one in the following article:

http://www.wired.com/2010/12/surly-l...-touring-bike/

For some reason, Surly have removed reference to this model on their website. But they did send me a copy of the web page they had for this model, attached below.

The reason for this post, is that I cannot find a serial number on the bottom bracket. Only “LHTCO-56”, denoting the model name and size in cm. The paintwork looks original.

I also attach below, a photo of the bottom bracket.

I am in the UK and bought it from a seller on eBay UK. I contacted them, but they could only say they bought it from someone else.

I have also contacted Surly, who agree that the serial number may never have been stamped on the frame.

I was therefore wondering, if someone with experience of this model, could assist?

Did the LHTD they have/had, have a serial number or not?

Is the frame I have, a one-off or not?

Thanks in advance.
