Serrota custom titanium project.. :)

So here goes:
Custom Ti serotta frame from the US of A .
weight is 1380g for the frame.

That was great - i spelt Serotta wrong in the title...

Lovely looking frame and a tasteful colour and decals - it should look great built up. Any reason behind the choice to have it painted? I for one am glad to see a ti build with some colour behind it rather than being yet another drab grey.

I bought it painted (2nd hand) - the colour is a bit darker in natural light. If i was ordering a new Ti frame i'd definately have it painted too

hot

I was watching this like a hawk! But the odd length of TT put me off, how tall are you?

What are you plans for this?

Ahh! - there was only one other bidder! I'm 5.11 and a bit but with long legs and shorter torso/arms a la scoble.
Saying that it'll have at least a 120 possibly a 130 stem (Pro plt) with carbon Record 10 components and columbus minimal forks.
Hopefully should be comfy and light.

This thread needs more pictures!

Have you received it yet?

yeah , had it for a week or two and have built it up with what i've got.
I'm seriously lusting after a set of nice wheels.... 0% interest on some enve's .... will post some pics at the weekend. it's around 7.7kg with some seriously weighty wheels on it at the mo.

here's some built pics.

nice build!
Wasn't keen on the silver/pewter stem on first glance, but it balances up the exposed stays really nicely.
Also agree on some colour on a to frame, raw has been done to death

Ballcrushing saddle angle. Other than that, nice clean build.

I sorted that - voice now gone down a couple of octaves :)

So nice!

that sir, is a very nice bike

really nice. nice to see a painted Ti bike

that b-screw needs loosening.

from here it looks that way at least.

?? are you talking about the rear derailleur?
chain is too short i think

doesn't look too short.
yes the mech

eh maybe it's too short. one or the other. hard for me to see honestly, but the top pulley is definitely sitting too far from the cogs.

that's the worst thing about doing home mechanics... may have to fork out a few quid to get a mechanic to dial it in properly ..

just loosen the B screw as much as you can without letting it hit the cogs. Doesn't have to be precise.

Hot damn, this needs better photos!

This does indeed. Very envious.
