BikePedia.com has lots of catalogues where you can match up your color scheme and components. Your Shimano components will have date codes as well. Vintage-trek.com has some deciphering help there. Not quite like a 2004 Allez Sport triple that I have, but close (mine's blue)

Thanks Prez. I did try Bikepedia from 1999 through 05, none seemed to match, but then again this bike has many varietals. I will check the components though, thanks

Welcome to the Bike Forums.

Determining the vintage of an old bicycle is not always all that difficult to do. Apply some of the information contained in How Old Is My Bike? (http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpeeds_1/FREE_SITE_VINTAGE/VINTAGE_1_Start.htm), paying closest attention to Component Numbers (http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpeeds_1/FREE_SITE_VINTAGE/VINTAGE_5_Component_Numbers.htm) and you should have your answer in fairly short order. You might even have a bit of fun doing this. Hope it is a help.
