Trek Bike Production by Model, Late 1980 through
1986
The Trek
serial number lists from late 1980 through 1986 afforded the opportunity
to calculate the production of bikes by model and year for this time
period. These data are presented in the table below. One can understand
how popular (or rare) a particular model might be. For example, there
were only 134 of the top-of-the-line model 170 frames made.
The annual totals show that domestic production
increased quickly from 1981 through 1983. In 84, production leveled
out and in 85 and 86 production decreased markedly. This reflected the
difficulty Trek had in producing the new bonded aluminum and carbon-tubed
bikes. Details of the production and sales problems during this period
are described on the Trek
history page.
Caution - These data are for calendar year,
not model year. Late in each calendar year, Trek changed production
to the next model year. We believe this model year shift occurred in
September or October. Unfortunately, the date is not specifically identified
each year in the serial number list.
Our thanks to Mitch Hawker for converting the seven
serial number pages into a single Excel spreadsheet file of 2700 lines,
on which he calculated the data below.

* The "Unknown" line is for runs for which
the model of the bike could not be read on the paper copy.
** There are two pages missing from the
paper list that was received from Trek. In the table above they are
represented by the line "Missing Page"in the 1982 and 1985
columns.
*** The serial number list for 1986 contains
a series of seven lines that refer to subcontracted bikes and frames
made by Merida (Merida Industry Co., Ltd based in Taiwan). These lines
are shown at the bottom of the table below. Trek had other subcontracted
bikes during this time period that did not make the serial number list.
The reason these bikes appeared on the list is apparently because they
used the same serial number format (seven digit numbers) that was used
for bikes made in the USA by Trek. We believe the other bikes subcontracted
during this period used different serial number formats.
