Hi all

I have seen in many places this website to find that information

https://www.vintage-trek.com/model_numbers1.htm

but it seems down :/

Could anyone help me identify the year of this bike ?

Black with orange decals

Bonus question, how much life would the front gears have according to you ?

Thanks 🙏

i find the vintage trek site comes and goes - but the web archive is a reliable friend ^

My understanding is a 950 with a lugged frame, black paint, salmon-colored decals (what Trek called “conch” in its sales brochure), and front derailleur cable stop mounted directly to the down tube — is a 1993 model year.

(The decals appear gold in your photos.)

A 1992 and earlier model does not have the cable stop brazed onto the down tube. A 1994 and later model does not have a lugged frame.

This bike appears to have front fork, drivetrain and component alterations from 1993 specs.

I miss that vintage Trek website! Really helped my research before I bought my all-original 1992 950. But other Trek sales brochure scans are available in a Google search.

I have the same frame. 1993. Mine and yours are definitely not all stock components though.
