Serotta Colorado frameset - update £450 Ono

A tentative but probable sale. A toe dipped in the pool of future regret. A hesitant gauging of interest.

I’m thinking of selling my Serotta Colorado. Here it is built with Super Record 11 speed but it would be sold as a frameset only. It is a wonderful bike and has seen me up and down all sorts of lumps from the Lake District to the Alps and the Pyrenees.

It is a Columbus steel frameset from the early 90s, with a 58.5 cm TT c-c and a slightly shorter ST, with a 57 cm c-t. The headtube is 15.8cm between the cups. I’m 6’2 for reference with a centre of BB to saddle height of 80cm and I ride it with a 12cm stem. It is built with a specific tube set commissioned by Serotta, with swaged tubing that flares out at the Bb for extra stiffness. It is a beautiful frame to ride.

I have ridden it with a 1” Columbus Minimal fork and a Chris King nothreadset but I also have the original steel fork suitable for threaded headset.

There could be several options - I keep the Columbus minimal forks and CK headset and I sell just the steel frame with the OG steel forks - £500.

Or I sell with both forks and the CK headset for £675.

Gorgeous, 585 TT and 158 HT is proper racy

Dang. Please please someone buy this before my pay day.

Bike is a beaut. Would buy if torso, arms and wallet was bigger, in that order.

i really shouldn’t be on this thread but what’s the max tyre clearance?

25/28 probably, depending on rim and tyre combination. I’m currently running 25 GP5000 tubeless.

Still have this, still up for moving it on

Thanks both

On the fence with letting this one go but there you go, that’s life

@zephyr26 your kind of thing?

@giovanni.olmo

Reckon I’m putting this on eBay tomorrow

I keep looking to see if it has shrunk by a couple of cm

Bumping this as I have listed the carbon fork and headset separately in classifieds.

Will take £450 for the frame and original steel fork

£425 for frame and forks
