Thanks for the reply bargainguy.
There is a 853 sticker on the bike, in addition since I first posted this inquiry, I've figured out the frame has definitaly been repainted. The marking "Lizart" was a giveaway. I guess I didn't give it much of a look before I posted.
Also, the "Lemond" on the dropouts has been painted over, and after doing some searching, I'm guessing it was not originally painted.
I also tried to do some searching for serial number dating, and didn't have much luck. I did contact Trek and asked them if they could help me out with the S#, and I'm still waiting on that. By the way, the bottom bracket is marked "000 4082" and "L310055".
I'll report back with any information I get from Trek.
Thanks again.
