Trek Serial Number Codes
Posted : admin On 28.12.2020I think it's a 2000 model. 1045U is the model SKU, 0 is for 2000 or later, 1 is the size (16.5'?), 0 is the design year. The design year may not be the year it was built, as models will run 2 or 3 years. Silver, gray or bare metal Trek, serial: Wtu 323g0010x tbi-0405 gy313783. The serial number only was reset in September 1981 as the new version of the frame was released - the prefixe, where used and suffixes remained the same The location of the stamping of the serial number on the Series 2 frame was also changed somewhere between 918D and 9143D, there are NO frames we know of before 9143D that are stamped in the. A two letter code was used to designate month and year of manufacture. All Marlins manufactured from 1969 to 1990: The first two digits of the serial number designate the year of manufacture, either as the last two digits of the year (in 1969-71) or as a number code (1971 and later). The UFP Serial Code was a unique number used for identification of individual units of equipment registered with the United Federation of Planets. In the 2250s, the away mission packs used by personnel aboard Federation starships were assigned UFP Serial Codes. The pack worn by Saru of the USS Discovery, on the planet Pahvo, had the serial code number '09000450'. (DIS: 'Si Vis Pacem, Para. 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.
Here is an email I got from an actual employee of GT:
If the bike frame was manufactured at the Santa Ana CA facility, the first three or four digits of the serial number should be letters abbreviating the model or size of the frame such as 'XL', 'XXL', CR24, or something like that.
The next part of the serial number is eight numeric digits. The first four numbers should be a two digit month followed by a two digit year. Man of war assault squad 2 free download mac.
The last four digits are the serialization digits 0000 to 9999 depending on what number the frame was of the years production.
If the frame was made overseas in Taiwan, it gets more complicated. If the number starts with a K, the frame was made by Kinesis.
That's the only one I remember off the top of my head.
There were at least four companies in Taiwan that made the GT lines :
Robinson, Dyno, Powerlite and Auburn included)
The first digit would be a letter designating the factory that made the frame. There might also be a second letter digit specifying the factory that assembled the bike, if applicable. The model and year of production was also coded by a letter, so you won't be able to spot a two digit month and two digit year.
Before I left, I was writing a specification to standardize all of the serial numbers because GT was starting to send most of its US production to other US fabrication shops.
The information might also come in handy for deciphering other makes because the factories in Taiwan make bikes for a lot of different companies.
I am tinkering around with the idea of starting to make my own frames, kind of on a 'one-off' basis. I am also teaching welding at a local community college.
By the way, did I tell you that the guy ran GT's in house fabrication for the last ten years (he recently retired) was none other than Gilbert Axt. Who? Do you remember Race, Inc.? That was Gilbert.
He also did the original PK Ripper for SE Racing. History, man.
It might be a really cool thing if I can track down Gilbert now and interview him for you.
THAT is the kind of stuff that belongs in the BMX Museum!
Later. I'll write you when I get a chance. Dan Garcia
and here is the updates, thanks to love thegoose! (Michael S)
well we get a good bit of gt serials that could be identified by the owner, if they only had the tips that some of us have learned, so i will post what i know, and anyone with more knowledge can add to it.so here we go.
here is an example to go by. on the dropout you have 'M1' followed by '08922198'.this one is simple.
M1 stands for 'mach one' that is your model gt.
it can also be a 'I' for interceptor and so on.
next on the serial is '0892' this is easy to decode too,
08 means 8th month, which would be august.
then you have '92' next in the lineup, this would be 1992
the last 4 digits, are your build number, this one would be the 2,198th one built.
Here is another example. if your serial is KGCG2297 this one gets a little complicated. but still easy once you learn the code to it.
the first letter is who made the frame itself, in this case it would be 'Kenisis', an overseas company.this could be replaced by another letter but at least we know what that one is there for.
next is the letter 'G'.this isnt always there, but if so, this is where it was assembled, (ever notice the built in usa sticker on your gt or dyno?) this is what that letter is there for. it wasnt made here, but was built here.
next is the letter 'C'.C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet, and march is the 3rd month, so march is the build month.
next is the letter 'G' this is the year. G is the 7th letter in the alphabet,
so this would be a 1987.
here is one more.your serial resembles this:f6030578.
to start, if you have a 'baseball' looking stamp behind your serial, this frame was made overseas..no its not a pacific, so dont cry, or get mad..and lets continue.
on this serial, the first number is the last digit of the year, so 6 stands for 1986
next is '03'..this is the third month.which is march.
so you have a gt built in march of 1986.
but still use the museum as a guide to id the frame, cause sometimes you can find the year, but getting a posotive id on the model isnt possible without knowing which style frame you have.
this doesnt apply to new gt's, but hopefully some people with info on those will chime in. this isnt always going to match your serial, you may have a 'fake'.its not likely but it happens. also on earlier models this can differ. this is for the 2 most popular style serial's i see on here. also, common sense tells you that if you have a suspected 'gt' frame, look it up and compare it in the musuem, knowing which style frame you have will help with the process of id'ing your bike with the serial, especially if the serial has some damage that prevents you from getting the full number.
hopefully this bit of info can be used for everyone, and this will save you from those late nights sitting around waiting for a response to your post looking for an answer to the idendity to your gt..although i do feel smart and proud when i can answer these posts. well, thats it for me, if anyone else has info on serials or if you see a mistake in this guide, tell me so i can edit it. happy holidays people.
Determining the Year and Model of Your Steel Trek One often has to be a bit of a detective to sort this out.

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. I know the serial number and numbers stamped at the bottom of the frame, but I don't know how to find the exact model year. Update: the answers so far assume you know the model yr, which is what I am trying to determine. The vintage trek website uses SN, but ends with 1997, and I think my trek is 21st century.

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. Occasionally, a frame was returned to Trek for repainting. Trek would use the then current colors and graphics, not the original ones. This means that color and graphics can (rarely) be misleading as to year. If your bike has a model name or model number, look it up on the table to find the years your bike was sold. Compare the components on the bike with those described in the brochures, if you think they may be original.
(BTW - This is tedious.) Cranks and brakes (and often seatposts), are more likely to be original than other components.(Note: Trek occasionally changed the components from what were described in the brochures. Improved parts became available during the year or specified parts became unavailable. In the case of unavailable parts, Trek invariably substituted better parts.) Date the components on the bike (if you think they are original), guided by the page. Dated components most likely to be original are brakes, handlebars, cranks and seatposts.

Sport versions are somewhere in between, at 43 cm or so. Compare the components on the bike (and frame colors on 81 and newer) with those described in the. Man with a plan download torrent for pc.
Or in the descriptions on the (93 and newer) or the (for 2003 and newer) web sites. 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.
Eyelets on dropouts? (for fenders or racks) - typically none on racing models (except for the first 4 or so years), yes on touring models, yes on most sport models.

FX&Type=bike How do I find the model year of a Trek bike If you alreadyknow the colour & model of the bike, the Trek website has an archive with bikes listed 2003 & above. And the bikepedia website has an archive of past & present bicycles. EDIT To use these sites, you don't need an exact model year in mind, the writing on the frame & the colour of the bike should be enough to work with. It should be quite easy to match the frame colour to the year, since they seem to be different colours every year. If you meantion these details, I'll do a search for you EDIT - Looking at the trek website, it appears that the metalic blue colour would be the Trek 820 (not specifically a woman's style design). Netherless, if it's the right size for you, it's a good choice.
