Serotta Corsa pista

Finally get to join the awesome group of Serotta bikes! Been after a Serotta for a year + and was hoping to get a rad CX or Road but that never happened as they all mostly in America, postal fees and customs is a pain!

But guess my luck changed and I managed to scoop up the Serotta track that was on sale on the forum. My size, colorado C3 oversized tubing and threadless fork! Perfect!

Thinking of the build and what comes to mind atm is:

-Black Chris king headset (on atm)
-Have this lovely NOS Tune stem +-10 that I would like to use 25.4mm clamp so Easton monkey bars to go with it.
-Silver LF Phil woods to black TB14's

(@Dammit offered me some lovey Nemesis to DA 7710's which would be awesome thx) but think I will prefer clinchers.

-Looking to get some Silver Sugino 75 DD with the Zen like so.

-Have a lovely curved Titanium seatpost that i got from @Dammit
-Transalp Flite saddle to finnish this off.

Hoping that the mix of silver and black will go nicely with the dark blue. Time will tell.

Thinking of grips but have no idea part from the obvious black or yellow, also been looking at compact drops but struggling to find some nice one's with a 25.4mm clamp. Anybody know of any?

That's about it for know can't wait to get it on the road!

Me too:)

Here is one from the sales thread, looks like the tires aren't pumped up but the idea is clear. I'll definitely take some shots of progress.

Sub'd this should be awesome. Most of your builds are!

Rad

amazing

fork is lush

75's DD are sweet - any update?

Can't wait to try them out. They in the post atm. Sould be with me in a few days. I'm still on hoilday, returning tomorrow so think I'll definitely update something.

I swear by 75 DD's. Possibly not quite as stiff or chunky looking as Rotors but love the low Q factor and just how well they cycle. If you want a bit extra a CK Threadfit BB with a SRAM insert makes a world of difference to the original BB. T

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, gonna run the original out apparently they don't last too long and will replace it for a CK. Might get matchy with the headset and go for Mango. Think it would look good with the blue colour of the frame.

In the post today \m/...

Pretty good deal from Velodrome shop £289 Cranks, BB and Zen ring.

Ready for a little progress. Think I'm only missing a Cog and fresh chain. Going for my favourite 47x17.

Aye sounds the best idea. My BB only lasted a few thousand and started grating bad. The CK is smoother than butter and also looks ace especially if you're colour matching ;) I need a pink one for the V1.. Get this thing built now please ;)!!

Dayum. That frame. Beautiful!

It's absolutely amazing! The tubing is so good, seat tube goes from narrow to wide at the bottom for extra stiffness and the chainstays are slightly bent at the end keeping the stays nice and tight but still enough room for 25c or maybe even 28c on wide rims. Looks like it's gonna be a super ride. Can't wait, Might have it together tomorrow!
