• I’ve had this Serotta for the last five years and put many miles on it in that time. A pretty hefty crash resulted in the frame needing some serious work, which in turn meant new paint. It was originally a pearlescent white but I fancied a change. The photo doesn’t really show but there are two tones of purple fading across each tube. I need to chop the steerer and I want to replace the stem for a slightly slimmer one (it seems quite hard to find an ahead stem that looks good on slim steel tubes) and I also am on the hunt for some 25-35mm carbon wheels - if anyone has any for sale let me know. I can’t recommend Laka enough, they were great throughout the whole process and very accommodating. I’ve been off the bike for three months recovering but took it out for a three and a half hour blast today, the lanes were filthy and soaking wet, and now so am I, but infinitely better for it.

  • Re stems: worth looking into steel stems. Old GT stems are quite easy to find at co-ops, and have a nice integrated steerer clamp like the Thomson X4. Nitto and Sim Works also make a few nice ones. 'Course then you gotta get the steel or Ti spacers with the appropriately sized outer diameter, but.

    If you (or anyone) need them look on eBay for a seller called Ultraturn, he made me up a few for real cheap.
