Registration is a quick and easy way to protect your new-bike investment. It provides a record of your serial number in case your bike is ever lost or stolen, and will help us get in touch with you with important product information. I got a 520 and i'm wondering what model year it is. It's a double-butted cromoly frame, but it's in rainforest green. I got a serial number of BS. If you want information about a particular Trek and you have the serial number, there’s this: Vintage Trek Bicycle Frame Serial Numbers, bike If you want some information about a particular Trek, I can probably tell you quite a bit if you tell me the model and answer some questions about mechanical details.

The third number is 403300950, which indicates foreign built, but the nation of origin sticker was missing. This number was marked at the bottom of the down tube. It is likely this 400 was made by the same manufacturer as the 1984 bikes described in the paragraph below. For the 1983 Model 400, it appears Trek used three sources for their frames or complete bikes. • Several 1984 Trek 460s, 420s and 400s have been reported with 9 digit numeric serial numbers stamped on the lower seat tube instead of on the bottom of the bottom bracket. These frames, or complete bikes, apparently were made in Japan by an outside contractor.

TX700 frames were available as special order, with Columbus tubing instead of the specified Reynolds 531. These bikes were designated as Model TX770. However, this model did not appear in any of the Trek brochures on this site. **** Year Exceptions: A. Serial numbers beginning with M or N (41X and 61X bikes or frames) seem to have a different meaning for what normally is the year digit.

According to the brochures, Trek did not make 41X and 61X bikes or frames during 76, 77, 78, and 79 and also not in 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, or 89. These serial numbers apparently do not follow the year convention used for other Trek models. It is likely these frames, SNs beginning with M or N (Models 41x and 61X), were contracted out or were made in a separate Trek facility, and were given the old serial number form so as not to interfere with the sequential numbers being assigned by Trek in their main shop, which began in late 1980. This variation to the SN system may have been done to extend the numbering system. By using the fourth character as an extension of the last three, the serial numbers could be extended from 2600 possible combinations to 26,000 for a given month. For M and N leading serial numbers, if the TREK letters on the seattube have no colorwrap behind, the bike is from 1980 or perhaps 1981.

I offered up information about how YOU can find the model year of your bike. Another way is to search google for “Trek 1000″ and browse images looking for bikes that look like yours.

The first numeral in the SN may be the year of serialization. JAZZ BY TREK Jazz is a line of foreign-built, entry-level bicycles that Trek sold in the early 90s. (See the for a bit more info and the for a 93 catalog). There seems to be at least three serial number types: • A Flipside model had the serial number JT0116 stamped on the bottom bracket shell. The JT probably stands for 'Jazz' and 'Trek'. The numbers may be the sequential frame number, beginning at 0001. • The second type is a 10-character serial number.

What brand and model are the wheels, etc. Trek may have had more than one year with a Red, White and Blue Trek 1000.

The seat stay lugs have the TREK pantograph. I am amazed at how well preserved this bike is and am curious to know all that I can find out about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Movie background music free download. All other vintage Treks are 27.2mm.

We've even started doing this on repairs. I e-mailed Trek directly late last night to get help on this, and to their credit, it's now 11:05 AM EST and I've already swapped three e-mails with someone there. I was under the impression that the 'Captain America' paint scheme on my bike was used from 2001-2003 based on what I've seen from eBay listings online, but I'm told that my bike is in fact a 2001, based on the serial number. Here's the color info I got directly from Trek: In 2001.

Now I would suggest you sit down with a piece of paper and write down the steps you would take to identify the month and the year without a computer (think of this as writing directions for a stupid but reliable person). Then the actual calculation will become easy to construct - assuming the task is possible in the first place. Hi Ben, and Welcome to the Forum, I've been toying with your sample data in TextWrangler, and I think it might be possible to do the lion's share of this parsing out using grep patterns in TextWrangler or BBEdit.

When I purchased it I was told what it was but I forgot! Thanks again. Comment by BikeRacked — January 27, 2008 @ • my 5200 frame is entirely silver in color with black and white trek lettering. What model year is it? Comment by john pugh — February 26, 2008 @ • I purchased a women’s specialized crossroads bike in 1996-1997. Where do I find the serial# or model?

Each seven-character number consists of three letters mixed with numerals. The serial number list and the code for the list are not available from Trek (but hope springs eternal). In the meantime, we have the results of the serial number decoding project: Serial Number Decoding Project Nearly two hundred Trek owners submitted their frame's specifics to help decode Trek's first serial number system. Our thanks to these generous cyclists.

If it is 6 digit numeric higher than 270975, the year may be able to be determined from the Table II on the serial number page. Other SN formats are described on the.

It might be a way of extending the 5 digit number series by a factor of 26. • A later 8 and then 9 character alphanumeric SN scheme, used beginning in about 1989, also begins with a T (for Trek?). These later T numbers were used on lower level subcontracted frames but do not follow the 2nd and 3rd or 3rd and 4th character date meanings above. • Beginning in about 1993 (model year 94), an 8 character alphanumeric code was used for some bikes. It begins with G and another letter (e.g. GN, GQ, GR, GS, GU, GV, GW, GY and GZ). These are followed either by: 6 numerals, or a numeral and a letter followed by four numerals.

(See Year Exception D.) 7 = 59 cm (ctc) or indicates a custom size. (See Year Exception D.) 9 = 63.5 cm (ctc) or indicates a custom size. (See Year Exception D.) The second letter represents the month the frame was serialized. Dec The second number is the last digit of the year, 6, 7, 8, 9 (for 197X) and 0 for 1980., ****, for year exceptions. Again, this is the date of serializing, not necessarily model year. The last three characters - The final letter ranges from A to Z and the final two numbers go from 01 to 99. The last letter might be a run designation, with the last two numerals the frame number in that run?

Candy Blue with red and white decals. Pear White with white and blue decals or Metallic orange with white and black decals. Starry Night with Black and grey decals or Candy Red/Pearl white with white decals. Apparently quite a few eBay sellers are misrepresenting the year of their bikes - shocking! - since I've seen bikes identical to mine listed as 2002 and 2003 models.

Go to the the web site (for 1993 and newer), the (for 2003 and newer) and perhaps the for more detail. For some years, (generally 1981 and newer) color is telling. For many models, two colors were available, but only one color is pictured. The other is listed on the model description page or in the separate specifications table.

Our thanks to them. In contrast to the serial number dates in Table I above, the years in Table II represent model years, not the date the serial number was applied. Table II - Model Years 1987 to 1999.

If it has a colorwrap, the bike is probably from 1982. Serial numbers for four model 510 frames (with a leading F) have been reported that have similar unexpected year dates. (Our thanks to Rich Ferguson, Fred Gomez, and Chris Tank.) The fourth characters are 2, 3, 4, and 5, there may be more. The frames have the early TREK graphics on the seattube. These frames may be related to the M and N leading serial number bikes in the section above. One early TX700 (leading G), an evaluation frame sent to a bike shop, had a 4 in the year digit.

To get a detailed report its a modest payment. You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you.

The serial number on the left rear dropout is 68334 3L and I’m wondering the year. Comment by Tracy — May 6, 2012 @ • Hi, I’m a typical most lazy Internet user.

This number was marked at the bottom of the down tube. It is likely this 400 was made by the same manufacturer as the 1984 bikes described in the paragraph below. For the 1983 Model 400, it appears Trek used three sources for their frames or complete bikes. • Several 1984 Trek 460s, 420s and 400s have been reported with 9 digit numeric serial numbers stamped on the lower seat tube instead of on the bottom of the bottom bracket.

If I understand correctly, after removing the prefix and the welder's code you are left with a sequence of digits. I think you have now also narrowed the years to 1979 - 1983. And I believe the serial number cannot start with a zero. I don't care if you write it out as text - as long as it becomes an algorithm (i.e. Something that a stupid machine like a computer can follow blindly, without any judgment calls of its own).

For some years, (generally 1981 and newer) color is telling. For many models, two colors were available, but only one color is pictured. The other is listed on the model description page or in the separate specifications table. If your frame has been repainted, you may be able to find the original paint inside the bottom bracket shell, seat tube, or head tube.

These begin with a zero not an Oh. For these all-numeric numbers with a leading zero, see below. A couple of serial numbers have been submitted that are missing the first letter. This letter designates the model. The remaining six characters are typical.

The number may or may not have a leading zero, making the six digits into seven digits prior to 1993. The model is not available for these numbers but the year can be determined or estimated from Table II below.

Comment by I Am Idiot — May 18, 2012 @ • Wow, Rob! It’s amazing how many people are too lazy to look their bikes up themselves! You give them the information, and even links to the websites, and yet they do nothing themselves – just want you to do the work for them!

You can always call trek and they’ll look it up for you Comment by rob — May 23, 2009 @ • Hello, im about to buy a trek hybrid and the owner doesnt know the year model. Would you be able to tell me with the following info; Trek Hybrid 7200 Drivetrain Shifters Shimano EF50 trigger, 8 speed Front Derailleur Shimano C102 Rear Derailleur Shimano Alivio Crank Shimano M191 48/38/28 w/chainguard Cassette Shimano HG40 11-32, 8 speed Cheers, Dave Comment by Dave Picot — July 8, 2009 @ • i have a red white and blue trek 1000 and im having trouble finding the year Comment by layne — July 31, 2009 @ • Layne, more than just the color is needed. How many speeds is it? What brand and model are the components. What brand and model are the wheels, etc. Trek may have had more than one year with a Red, White and Blue Trek 1000. And I am not here to research bikes.
