Serotta - Appreciation // Owners

I'm babysitting Dammit's Fierte Cross while he is out East so felt a bit more confident going up the River Lee Navigation to the River Lee Country Park - really nice place and a really nice bike.

That’s my old custom ti! The forks are Columbus minimal 1” that I got painted more or less the same colour as the frame ( at c&g in liverpool).
I had two pro plt stems also painted to match . Look forward to seeing it built up / here’s one of my threads on it:

Love an Atlanta!

I recently sold four nice bikes as I wanted to try the new technology, hydraulic disc brakes and fat tyres, and used the parts left over, wheels I bought in 2006 and my favourite 165mm chainset and Praxis Chainrings, and picked up a Record Ti seat post as the layback suits the steep seat tube angle better, and polished the stem to match.

..Steel frame and tubulars..is as smooth as the new bike I just built..but lighter. I wouldn't have appreciated it in 2006 as I was chasing Carbon, but my old bones certainly do now.

Awesome bike!

Brakes complement the frame nicely. It’s nice to see something other than black components.

Go straight to HHSRB >>>

Mostly agree. Apart from copper coloured spokes. Like a Russel hobbs microwave.

What is HHSRB? Took me a while but I know now.

Here is my Serotta I recently acquired. I traded a Cinelli Grammo stem and a "display-only" set of Colnago Carbon cranks for the frame with a friend. The number hanger was a tip-off it was something unusual, after some research turns out it's a US Cycling Federation team frame.

It is a beautifully-built frame and I'm very excited about it. I just moved from the US to the UK so it's currently on shipping container with all of my other worldly possessions, looking forward to doing some riding.

Cheap Serotta in Hackney

Lost Smiths album title?

I was looking for a bike, and then I found a bike
And heaven knows I’m miserable now

Girlfriend on an old bike, I know, I know it’s serious.

This is great - old times work too

On Facebook marketplace there's an Atlanta for £240 complete. Sorry lost the link

Anything for sale or trade size 57/58?

I could trade a really nice Olmo track if anything of my taste comes out;)

Can I interest anyone in a pantographed quill stem?

I’m thinking about moving this on after buying it last year.

I’ve put some nice tyres on it and a more BDHU-friendly nitto bar/stem combo. The bike’s in Sweden but can bring to London without too much hassle

Initially thought this frame on eBay was a re-painted Serotta with misaligned decals, turns out it’s a cyclefit glider tupelo (built by Serotta).
Not quite the “real deal”

I have a glider tupelo and it's a great bike. Light and stiff. Reasonable clearance from a bike from around 2000. Built by serotta and has super smooth welds. Has a 2 degree sloping tt which is a bit funky. Overall great bike.

ATMO - If Serotta made it then it’s a Serotta.

Yeah I always thought these were sweet too. Didn't they have an S stamp somewhere? Brake bridge or summit?
