FS/Trade: Glider Tupelo Frame (Serotta Built Steel)

Glider Tupelo Steel Frame - Built by Serotta based on their Colorado

In need of refurb.

These were built by Serotta for Cyclefit somewhere between 2005-08.
Steel. Possibly Colorado Concept tubeset.
Feels pretty light for steel.
Details are ace. Serotta CNC detail on brake bridge. Nice dropouts. Chain pip.

**PLEASE READ: I took a punt on this frame secondhand a number of years ago but unfortunately the seatpost was stuck. I tried to corrode it out using caustic soda but ran out of time - had to move flat - and there's still the stump stuck in there. Lots of paint chips. Some corrosion where some of paint has chipped. Tiny ding on one tube. Since then it's lived in a few dry cellars while I've procrastinated about fixing it up.
So it needs a complete refurb; The seatpost removing, headset cups are proper knackered and deffo need removing, refinishing, painting, chasing, facing etc etc. **

TT: 570mm cc
HT: 213mm measure end to end.
ST: Approx. 600mm Centre of BB to around top of tube.

Really not sure what this is worth. Refurbished it could be a fantastic frame. I think originally through the years it would have cost £695-£995. I'm moving flat and need to get rid of it. Don't want to take the piss so educate me if this is way off. You're welcome to come and view.

is it 1 1/8 headtube?

Yes 1 1/8

does it match any of these geometry sheets?

thank you

Just put the tape measure back against the frame, as far as I can tell it matches the 60cm frame.

HT bang on 213mm
TT approx 580mm

I could have done the 58, but 60 is just a little too large for me, but great price. glws

No worries, thanks for finding the geometry chart!

Had one of these from new. Sold it a few years back. Wish I hadn't. Great frame. GLWS.

SOLD

Thanks for all of the interest. I'm having a beer as a send off, sorry to see it go. On the plus side, looks like a good fit for the new owner. Wish them many happy miles.

I now have this and it’s for sale again!

This is my daily rider and is a great frame. Good luck with the restoration.
