I found an tiny picture on Craigslist NY of a Serotta Colorado that seemed to be a fluorescent magenta to bodacious blue fade and somewhat large, so I offered an optimistic number for the complete bike or for the frameset if he was willing to split. Surprisingly the seller accepted if I could pick it up immediately. I wasn't able to myself but managed to have my friend go grab it for me if it was in decent condition and eagerly awaited photos. The bike was covered in dirt but looked much better than expected and seeems to be a perfect hhsrb basis. And on top it was my perfect size 59.
The initial plan was to clean it up and install a non T. rex sized stem and bars, modern groupset and some slave worthy wheels.
Once I rode it though the mixed tricolor and 7400 group seems to be functioning perfectly and will be more than adequate for a while. The ideal would be a new polished Potenza 11 group down the line. For wheels I have a spare 909 front zipp that I will try to make into a neon logo 440 clone and find something to make a matching rear. It needs gumwall tubes of course. The second option would be a 12 spoke set of shamals I was saving for something worthy, maybe if this ends up going 11 speed later.
