But so far based on the list of 19 serial numbers along with bike or frame pictures I do not see any rhyme or reason to the numbering.
I have discovered that there seems to be a pattern of a leading single letter of either E, F, A, or I followed by 6 numerals. Then on some of the Carbone frames underneath this on a separate line there might be an additional code of "SC"
BTW, these are all stamped into a leading edge of the under side of the bottom bracket lug next to the cable guide.
Is anyone else interested in either adding their serial number to my list or seeing said list?
Yes!! And I should be able to get 4 or 5 more numbers for you from the Cambridge Vitus Club. These are the four charter members, plus we have a spare frame or two.
