Serotta - Appreciation // Owners

Never stuck mine in here. Need to take some better pics at some point, it's had minimal riding time so far...

check this out - pretty wild :)

I got mine out of the loft last week. 10% chance of it being ridden this year.

If it comes out the loft in January, things are looking optimistic.

Would be great to see this built up. What's that saddle?

Doing some zoom and enhance on some pics it’s a Bassano Vuelta Vision (or a vision vuelta?). Bought NOS from somewhere or other. It’s not very comfortable but it looks right so it obvs has to stay.

Some early build pics here from before I’d ridden it and sorted the niggles. Can’t believe how long ago it was.

That's really nice. I saw another with the same pedals.

Quite similar builds, nearly went 7700 on mine but then things changed. Same headset and i went nitto 186's.

If that's a 54 or 55 and you ever look to move it on, give me a heads up!

Looking forward to seeing this in Regents in the summer.

You can have the pedals if you want them,* I'm realistically never going to use them. Bike is a 56.5 along the top so you might have to grow a bit for that :)

*in 6 months when I get them out of storage

Yeah thought it looked big. Tempted on the pedals! Do they fit regular look cleats? If so hit me up as and whenever they resurface....

@HoKe me too tbh! It’s coming...

Look Deltas. If they were KeOs I'd likely use them, but I think having a pair of shoes specific for the bike is a step too far.

Damn! Amazing colour fade, same as the Colorado II that was for sale on here yonks ago!

Think it’s exactly same size as my Atlanta, any idea what year yours is??

Also if you do wanna sell it on come summer time / winter time / anytime I’d definitely be interested

Ahh, think I was looking at some look Arc's and concluded the same. Agree.

Cheers anyway

1997, resprayed. No plans to sell in the foreseeable, but this thread is the first place it'll go if the mood strikes me.

Came across this podcast. Some really interesting episodes, but there's a Dave Kirk episode where Serotta is discussed heavily. Two hours of chit chat. Great stuff.

Also one with Dave Wages, also of Serotta:

I'm thinking of moving this along...

Still exactly as described in the original thread.

It's been sat criminally neglected under my bed. I haven't really had the means to sort it and it actually wouldn't fit any more according to my most recent bike fit.

Same price - £70 (50 for me, 20 forum donation) - pick up (west) or drop off (within reason).

Thought I'd check here first before starting a thread. I hope that's OK.

Dibs!!

Have to find out if my mates in london could pick it up for me

Good work. Tempted to buy a pair off you and build up from there.

Any advice regarding this one on eBay, to build up. Pictures are not the best.
