Trek Frame Serial Numbers (Draft). Click on the date link in Table I below to go to the detailed serial number information for. Merida is a Taiwanese bike. Serial Number Location. Trek frame serial numbers. Merida is a Taiwanese bike company that was established in 1972. It is currently a major, worldwide.
Just wanted to add that I recently came into a '82 Specialized Sequoia, and in looking for info on it via the Classic Rendezvous and other lists, learned from folks that were with Specialized at the time that Miki built some of Specialized bikes back then, including mine. The serial number is shown in the photo attached. Hope that comes through. If not, the number is M2D03667. The 0 is not 100% sure. It looks like an incompletely stamped 0 but maybe not??? Tim Are you sure it's Miki and not Merida?
Does your bicycle have a country of origin decal. I recently purchased a vintage Miyata Bike but would like to know the year and model. It's white with black lettering. I have the serial number but I'm not completely positive on the first letter. It's NS90 905713.
But the first letter could also be an O. It has Shimano 600 gears, brakes and pedals. On the cross bar it has SplineTripleButted by the seat. And on the crossbar by the handlebars it has 414 in green and white. And CRMO on the forks. Can you help me identify the year and model please? Any help would be appreciated.
Brady 30, FYI, the Miyata 414 was 10th in a line of 12 road bicycles. The original MSRP was $380 US. The original Blaze components were SunTour's 2nd from the bottom of the line road group at the time.
The 414 would be considered a sports bicycle, on the cusp of entry level and mid-range. It was geared like an entry level recreational/touring model but had slightly more aggressive geometry, though not as aggressive as a racing model.
It was targeted at club riders and novice triathletes. You can find all the specs in the 1990 Miyata catalogue here: I'd appreciate it if you double check on the serial number.
My database has several other Miyata STB models from 1990 and they all follow the standard format.
Can I test your bikes before I decide to buy one? We completely support the very good idea that you always test a bike before it becomes your own one. There are many different reasons (e. The testing option) which convince MERIDA that authorized specialist retailers are still the best sources for new bikes. Together with our globally operating MERIDA specialist retailers, our aim is always to provide a certain pool of test bikes per country and region. But please do not be disappointed if the bike which you favour specifically is not available directly (in your individual size): It is simply not possible for us to provide ALL models at ANY time in EVERY place. I am interested in model X in country Y – but I cannot find any price information on the respective website.
Can you give me a price quotation? No, unfortunately this is not possible. Currently, MERIDA bikes are available in 77 countries all over the world. In each of them, the responsible national distributor fixes the recommended retail price. If your country’s respective MERIDA website (www.merida.com - navigation point COUNTRY SELECTION) does not offer the desired information (no country is obliged to publish this information in the web), please contact either your authorized MERIDA retailer or the respective national importer directly.
A list of all MERIDA distributors can be found. For the next retailer in your area, please use the navigation point DEALER SEARCH at the top of www.merida.com. I am an athlete and I am convinced that MERIDA can benefit from my performance.
Who can I contact with regard to sponsoring? As an international brand, MERIDA provides various kinds of support for talented athletes all over the world. However, our international marketing department primarily attends to the pro-rider teams such as the MULTIVAN MERIDA BIKING TEAM or the TEAM LAMPRE-MERIDA. So if you are an athlete looking for material support or similar sponsoring arrangements: First of all, please contact your local MERIDA retailer! In most cases, such local sponsorings are the best choice to start a successful cooperation.
In addition, your retailer is linked directly (via the responsible MERIDA staff member) with the respective national importer. If the latter is interested in a sponsoring arrangement, a contact can be made very easily in this way. And who knows: Perhaps the importer contacts us quite soon because you really are the next shooting star;-) The navigation point DEALER SEARCH at the top of www.merida.com guides you to a list of retailers in your area. A summary of distributors can be found. My MERIDA bike suffers from a technical problem – and I am not sure about the reason.
Who can help me? At least one thing is for sure: WE cannot help you adequately neither via Facebook nor via our website – because there are countless potential reasons for anomalies regarding your bike.
For example, a rattling or “jingling” brake disc might equally result from a real defect in material or just from incorrectly tightened bolts (perhaps even at a completely different part of your bike). In short: A really reliable technology check can only be carried out by your retailer – so please take your bike there for an expert evaluation by competent personnel. The navigation point DEALER SEARCH at the top of www.merida.com guides you to local retailers. My bike frame is defective – does my product warranty cover a replacement?
News
Currently, MERIDA bikes are distributed in 77 countries world-wide. For each of them, different legal requirements apply concerning warranty and defects liability. Therefore it is impossible for us to give you a legally binding answer in your specific case.
First step in such cases: Please check your user’s manual and your purchase bill/voucher thoroughly – the desired information can normally be found there. If these documents cannot help you on, please contact your retailer who knows to 100% how you can be helped. The navigation point DEALER SEARCH at the top of www.merida.com guides you to local retailers.
By the way: MERIDA is not responsible for warranty cases regarding attached parts/components such as the wheelset, the brakes or the drivetrain. In fact, your MERIDA retailer is the correct contact also in this matter. But please realize that the replacement of the defective part/component is arranged via the particular manufacturer resp.
I would like to install a suspension fork with larger travel at the front of my MTB – is that possible? Basically: Yes.
Counterquestion: Do you really want to do this – and why? Please remember: Due to the altered geometry, more suspension travel at the front does not only provide benefits. On the one hand, the steering angle gets flatter while on the other the bottom bracket is moved upwards– the result is a less agile bike.

Perhaps you do want this plus in terms of running smoothness and tracking stability. But if you e. Want to reach XC podium ranks on a racing rocket like our BIG.SEVEN, you will rather favour maximal agility instead. You can be sure: Year after year, our R&D engineers put maximal effort in creating bikes whose geometry and kinematics are designed perfectly down to the very last detail. So please let them enjoy their fun and better realize more suspension travel by changing to a new MERIDA bike model which matches your demands to 100%.
