Trek said to bring it to a local dealer with proof of purchase. Do they even make this frame for V-brakes and bar end shift routing anymore?
I was curious myself, yes they do, bottom of page. But the rim brake version only sold as a frame, not a complete bike.

The friend of mine that got a new 520 frame did not need proof of purchase, but I am sure if you have it that it is less trouble free.
