I need to find out my Trek 4300's frame number for insurance purposes. On the underside of the
bottom bracket, I found 3 set of numbers of the following format: (Alphabet as shown below, with n
denoting a numeric digit)

nnnnUnnn (laid out horizontally)

WTU nnnSnnnnX (laid out vertically on the left)

TBI-nnnn GSnZnnnn (laid out vertically to the right)

Which is the frame number? What are the other two numbers???

I don't know which is the frame number, but I want to caution you about registration cards. I bought
my bike out of town, and when I got home, I noticed that the card on which the serial number was
printed didn't match the serial number on the bike. I called the store and they didn't seem too
concerned, which leads me to believe that they might have this mix-up fairly regularly.

My suggestion: use the number on the bike, not the card, and register with the bike number,
if possible.

It was just a solution for his "problem". When he checked his registrationcard he could see which
number the serial is. Always check it with the number on the frame. You aren't the first and will
not be the last with a wrong registrationcard/frame combination. However, you were right.

I didn't get a Registration Card, only a Bicycle Owner's Manual, where on Page 1 entitled
congratulations, I have the option to write down manually the bicycle name, frame number, etc.

I did buy it from a reputable Trek dealer, however!

Has he forgotten it or something? It's only a Trek 4300, not exactly the top of the range. On page 1
of the manual it just says "Your bycicle's serial number is embossed on the underside of the bottom
bracket shell, the deraileur hanger, or the disc brake mount"

No clue which of those numbers are the frame number. In what format are the one for you guys?

Anyway, I could register online at trekbike.co.ukproduct registration.phpOpen ↗ , couldn't I?

I can't tell you what the frame number looks like (though I bet you could contact a Trek
representative through this form and ask: trekbikes.comindex.jspOpen ↗ ),
but I can tell you that the serial number on my fuel 90 is:

WW####### (Two W's, 7 digits)

It's also prefixed by S/N.

So by process of elimination, anything that looks like that isn't it.
