It was the "oh fuck, I don't have a road bike" semi-emergency purchase of late last year.
Now that the Time Machine is out of action (having donated parts to Dalsnibba) and Dalsnibba is still in Norway, it's back in the limelight.
However, you make a good point- it's not really got a role, now that the other bikes have arrived.
That said, it's a great bike, rare and getting rarer- and of course these can no longer be repaired now that the factory has closed.
All my other bikes have power, the Serotta doesn't- which means that the kind of long fast rides that it is best suited to tend to put a big blank hole in my (first world problem nerdy tracking graph) PMC.
This could of course be fixed by swapping a Powertap into the rear wheel (for power, cheap) or Vectors in place of the Zero's (spendy).
I might consider a long term loan to someone who'd use and appreciate it, once the Time Machine is back in action and I have Dalsnibba again (that's going out to Road.cc for ~4 weeks once the paint is done, however).
