K 910, L 930, M 412 and 414 ( see year exception A below ), N 610, 613, and 614 ( see year exception A below), O 950.

To the extent that Trek today is basically a marketing distribution company.

Trek customer service, responding very quickly this morning, tells me that the frame is a 56 cm.

Of course, the serial numbers may not be coded but only sequential, and so a lookup would be involved rather than a decode.

Trek Serieal Number How To Find The

How do I find the model year of a Trek bike I know the serial number and numbers stamped at the bottom of the frame, but I dont know how to find the exact model year.

The vintage trek website uses SN, but ends with 1997, and I think my trek is.

Not that important except for selling the bike, but if you really need to know then Google Trek serial number or Trek 8000.

In the case of some early 80s Treks, the number is under the plastic cable guide on the bottom of the shell.

The other place Trek (or their subcontractors) stamped the SN is at the lower end of the seat tube.

This was made by the individual framebuilder to mark hisher work.

If you know which mark was used by a particular craftsman, please let me know.

These dates are not necessarily the same as the model year of the frame.

At some time late in each year (beginning generally September or October) the frames produced were created from designs, and painted with colors, for the next year.

Clean the area well, and use lots of light at various angles.

In this case I used a red candle to make the serial number stand out.

Note that even with the serial number filled with wax, the leading 0 is almost imperceptible.

Each seven-character number consists of three letters mixed with numerals.

In the meantime, we have the results of the serial number decoding project.

The letter code indicates frame model, which would include bike models made from that model of frame.
