Trek question: Which BB # is the serial #?

OK Guys,

This question may not be technical enough for this forum, but I'm sure
someone here could easily answer this:
I've got a new Trek road bike (1000), and I need to find the serial #
to register it. The only problem is that there are 2 sets of numbers
on the BB. One set is a sequence of 12 alpha-numerics, beginning with
"WTU".
The other set is a sequence of 15 alpha numerics, with the first three
letters "TBI", followed by a dash "-".
Which set is the serial #?
BTW, I've checked the generic owner's manual, and it helpfully told me
that I would find the serial number on the bottom bracket. Gee thanks,
manual.

Thanks in advance,
Paul P

Most Trek serial numbers are on the inside of one off the dropouts for the
rear wheel.

The "WTU" series is the serial number.
