  • Sorry to drift slightly but a word of warning on that stem ... I bought the exact same model NOS from Hillary Stone and that little plastic black bit hiding the bolt, well, it is extremely flimsy and held in place simply by a screw. Tighten that screw too much and the plastic will snap, have it too loose and it rattles. All pictures I've seen of that stem eventually dont include that little plastic bit. Disappointing design fault on an otherwise lovely stem. Be careful with it.

    Snapped mine within a few months.

  • It does look flimsy.

    What seatpost would match the rather nice titanium grey finish on the stem?

  • kent eriksen sweetpost

  • A chorus or record ti post if you want a fair bit of setback.

    Kent will look too modern imo.

  • Enve

  • A quill stem rather dictates a lot of what goes on the bike- you can't just bang Di2 on it with some deep carbon wheels and call it good.

  • Blue tack for that stem, mine was kaput too

    How bizarre, I was thinking about this one that b'jammin sold, but had no idea what it was, then hey presto, it pops up for sale....

  • Well I mean a Syncros Ti would look lovely as well.

    Bjorn I thought better of you, of course a Sweet Post would be awesome!

  • :) They are very nice posts no doubt just think the clamp may look off on this frame.

  • Ignore the build- how about this paintscheme?

  • Bit safe. But that white replaced with an icy sky blue, now we're talking...

  • Silver to blue or blue to purple would also be good

  • Ignore the build

    What has been seen....

  • ^ Basically don't do it like that...

  • Bizarre.

    Sonic Blue to Arctic White fades would probably look good (close to above), but I don't like the yellow decals.

    Obviously you should go Ohh-Range to ‘Treuse.

  • Dammit - is that a local shop where all those paint jobs are happening in your photo bucket - I've got a frame I want a custom job on and their work looks great.

  • could you not just return it to Serotta for a refurb, as they are still going?

  • Most likely around a 1000 usd for a single color repaint by serotta.
    Edit: their prices have gone down for refinishing it seems a single color is 522 http://saratogaframeworks.com/2013/08/29/repair-refinish/

    Not bad if it wasent for the shipping back n forth part.

  • I got a quote from them- $1,500 including postage but not including duty.

    Not my Photobucket I am afraid- just something I found on The Paceline.

  • there's no duty on warranty repairs.
