I bought a second hand Trek Domane 5.2; the seller seemed reputable (a serious cyclist, talked intelligently about the bike and how he'd ridden it) and it was a reasonable price (not "too good to be true") so there were no red flags. It wasn't until I got it home on the stand that I realized that the serial number sticker was missing from the BB shell.
There's no S/N stamped into the shell like there would be on a steel or aluminum bike. I've looked pretty carefully (without removing the fork or anything significant) but can't find a number.
Is there a more permanent serial number somewhere on this bike?

Under the bottom bracket.
Inside the head tube or inside the non drive side dropout.
My Trek is pretty old but the SN is stamped on the rear derailleur side drop out.
