  1. OK Guys,

    This question may not be technical enough for this forum, but I'm sure
    someone here could easily answer this:
    I've got a new Trek road bike (1000), and I need to find the serial #
    to register it. The only problem is that there are 2 sets of numbers
    on the BB. One set is a sequence of 12 alpha-numerics, beginning with
    "WTU".
    The other set is a sequence of 15 alpha numerics, with the first three
    letters "TBI", followed by a dash "-".
    Which set is the serial #?
    BTW, I've checked the generic owner's manual, and it helpfully told me
    that I would find the serial number on the bottom bracket. Gee thanks,
    manual.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul P

  2. Most Trek serial numbers are on the inside of one off the dropouts for the
    rear wheel.

    The "WTU" series is the serial number.
