1997 Serotta Atlanta

Also, velocals accepted my Atlanta eps, so once they've sorted things out their end I'll have a pair of those decals heading my way to put on the top tube. Maybe. Not sure I want to now, but it's a little empty without them.

For new page.

Bravo!!!

I don't have the CSi decals on mine as they were no longer available.

I might be able to make them available. Will have a look. You've got an extra Serotta logo instead, no?

Very nice indeed!

Looks good all built up. Apart from the saddle, don't mind the pink but the shape looks like a halfords saddle. Are you tempted at all to (one day) do a modern all black component build?

Stay graphic not too bad. My Nelli stay logo pretty close to 53 ring.

I've got a period flite if I can't live with this one, but I quite like it really. Might be awful to ride on though.
For a modern, all black build temptation: Sort of. But then I've got enough other road bikes with modern all black gear on them that it's not really necessary beyond testing the aesthetic. From a practical perspective this stuff shifts fantastically and feels pretty crisp so it's not like I need anything to feel 'newer' either.

I vote that you should keep the saddle, although I can see why it's controversial...

I can see why it's controversial...

It's like having the spring painted to match on a leather saddle.

I'm googling Humbrol shades as we speak. This is your fault.

@vello s saddle springs were red long before the frame was painted! he got the stem done to match though.

Ed, you should get this one to match your old handle bar tape...

Sorry Tom for polluting your thread

Hah! nicely done!

Actually would if I still on Brooks.

no probs - nothing going on in here until next weekend anyway. almost rode the thing today, but the weather turned just as I'd finished sorting things out.

Your bike has inspired some fadez I've been printing today

Rad. What for?

Just some gradient test prints on an old printing machine I've got. Hoping to sell the idea to a client. Definitely doesn't look as good as the frame though. Kudos on the build so far

If you've got a sheet going spare reckon you could put it aside for me? (assuming you're in london). Will quite happily pedal over and collect. Maybe even on the rotta when I'm done building spare wheels (laced one up last night). Will throw beer money at you for the hassle :)

Btw @Dammit, I'm 80% of the way toward having a csi eps for you.

Sorry mate, it's got client specific writing all over it - the snap just shows the edges. If the go for the print run I'll see what I can do though

Btw @Dammit, I'm 80% of the way toward having a csi eps for you.

Thanks!

Built my first pair of wheels over the weekend. They're not round or dished though, so should probably get that sorted next.
