I had this on eBay for a while - getting tired of low ball offers - and I've umm'd and ahhh'd as to selling this but its just not getting used.
I love this bike, its taken to me from London to Paris on a few occasions and even to see Wiggo + Cav at Ghent 6 in Belgium - its been ridden and toured and until recently was used as my daily commuter. Its been loved but does have some wear and tear on the groupset - please see pictures as this forms part of the description.
I imported the frame and forks from New York 3-4 years ago at great cost, think it cost north of £1k once all the shipping, fees and customs were taken into account. It was almost NOS at the time and the frame remains in excellent condition for its ago - a few paints chips to the top tube and some cable rub. Its got a 1inch threadless steerer which is run with an Ahead stem + shim.
Amazing to ride, buttery smooth great for long days in the saddle and confidence inspiring on descent it feels like its on rails still.
Ben Serotta is now building frames again, but these are a snapshot of history.

Early 00's Serotta Legend Ti Frame with proprietary C4ti tubing + 1inch threadless Ritchey carbon fork

1inch Threadless Chris King Headset
Easton EC70 Carbon setback seatpost (~20mm)
Sram Force 10 Full Groupset

The bike has always been regularly serviced and cared for by the guys at Look Mum No Hands - no expense spared.
