Skip,

Regretably, I do not have my two early 80's Treks. I had a 1982 715 and a 1982 515. I do not have the sn's. I would like to find a 1982 757 with Campagnolo SR.

BTW, your vintage trek web site is fabulous.

Thanks, Jonathan Russell

Hello Jonathan -

Welcome to CR!

Do you still have the Treks? If so, and they are 80 or 81 or with a 7 digit alphanumeric serial number, I would appreciate it if you could send me the serial number and specifics of the frame/bike.

For details, have a look at the Serial Number decoding project at >http://www.vintage-trek.com/SerialNumbers.htm>

BTW - If you haven't seen it yet, Retro Raleighs has some good info: http://216.254.0.2/%7Etabula/raleigh/

cheers,
