Serotta built Glider Tupelo full bike 55cm SOLD

Glider was a Cyclefit London brand of bikes built in the US by Serotta and other builders at the time.

The tubing used is the same as on the custom built Serottas ,which is Columbus Colorado Concept. The frame comes in a very respectable 1.7kg. Fork is Alpha Q CS-10 ,which again, at the time was the very top in the fork design. CS10 has a steel steerer but still comes at similar weight as full carbon models. Top tube and seattube are oversized 31.8mm instead of the more common 28.6mm.

Parts
Vibe 7s bars 42cm, 130mm Deda zero 1 stem, PMP seatpost, Fabric Scoop saddle
Condor sealed headset in 1 + 1/8", Campag seatclamp 31.8mm.
Rival 10 speed groupset with Gebhardt CNC chainring in 50/36, 172.5mm arms.
Ultegra/Open pro CD wheels, DT comp spokes, Conti 4 seasons 25c.

Condition is ok for a used bike, no rust, no big gashes ,few touch ups. Can be used as is or you can have it painted and do it justice. Bike rides amazingly ,just as any other high end steel bike from that era. Smooth ,comfy but surprisingly stiff due to the oversized tubing. It will clear 28c , maybe 30c on wider rims and certain tyre brands.

Bike is clean and serviced, chain and cassette and cables changed recently and it hasn't seen much use.

Collection/viewings in SE4, happy to post at cost. Will be packed professionally.

Nice.

Really nice. Massive bargain

That's very nice. How tall are you (trying to get an idea on sizing)?

Hmmm. I'm 6 foot 3. Fits me with 140mm/-17 stem for a long and low position.

But ultimately it depends on the riders flexibility and preferred riding position.

These are great bikes. I have one in same size and run a 120mm -17 degree at 181cm tall, if that helps.
