hi dan,

having some trouble seeing a serial # (very thick paint job) will probably find it when i strip it,

theres no HB on front downtube gusset, and it is square behind the BB,

after the SE versions were they made abroad ?

my serial numer is B4 0114 and its in big letters and should be easy to spot.
i not look under bb .
the flat part is the underneath as well as the top ,like a box section.
after se they went to ramp room hoffman made usa same as se model apart from serial number in different place
ygt will no better
