filling out house insurance form and it asks for bike's frame number.... but where the hell is it?

Bike is a Saracen Mantra 3.

Have looked all over the frame but can't locate any numbers (probably haven't looked hard enough I know)... but is there a 'usual place' that most bike makers etch or stamp a frame number? This of course assumes bike frame makers actually stamp a number on the damn thing.

Feel like a proper numpty asking this... but Google wasn't much help either.
Cool, retro and sometimes downright rude MTB and cycling themed T shirts. Just MTFU.

    Can also be on the bottom of the seat tube, depends on the bike, BB general area though as you have found :wink:
    It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    I've bought a new bike....ouch - result
    Can I buy a new bike?...No - no result
