awesome bike.what size is the headtube?one or one n eight?

Thanks for the compliment :-)

bump - price reduction £775

I can confirm these frames are superb to ride.
I think you'll find its 1 and 1/8 steerer.
Your other geometry dims are a bit off as well.
GLWS.

:-0 really? I'll have to go back and check.
I did notice that the geo I had measured didn't quite match the chart, I'll post some pictures later in the week to illustrate my measurements, then it might be obvious what I'm mistaking...

EDIT after much mucking around I worked out it is a size 54

Best measurement for evaluation in sloping geometry is 'virtual' top tube i.e.from the centre of seat post to centre of head tube horizontally, ( hold tape along a horizontal axis as if the top tube were not sloping ) not weld to weld on the tube itself.
Here's a Cube geometry chart, you can see the vital horizontal top tube is around 2cm more than the sloping measurement, a whole size difference!

PS where are you? the missus would love this...I have some lovely retro bikes also if you are up for a trade?

Thanks for the offer but I can't do an exchange on this one, If I sold my gf's bike and came back with more bikes I would be in so much trouble :-)

EDIT after even more mucking around measuring the head tube it is a size 54

hmmm head tube is usually between the headset cups, 15 cm ! Makes it a 54...i think we need the Serotta geo chart tbh, anyone's guess where they are measuring! :)
so where are you based?

Sorry didn't answer that one! I'm based in London,

Ok , London is big place ! which part? :)

EDIT - after saying it can't be a 54 - guess what - it's a 54..

I'd size that as 51.5 top tube, the seat tube based sizings are irrelevant really, I ride a 48 Bottecchia carbon and a 55 Colnago steelie, there's only 3mm difference in TT length!

EDIT I Measured the top tube wrong - it's a 54...

What does the serial number say? The size will be in there.

It'll be in the format of "model"-"size"-"number of model in production run", i.e. SC570567 would be a Serotta Colorado, in a 57, and it's the 567th to be built.

OK so the serial number if F54 923.

F for Fierte

Size 54

number 923 made.

So I got there eventually...

Hey Chris - In response to your question I am North London - near Hampstead Heath.

I might be interested in Frame fork and seatpost on the off chance you'll split.

Sorry, looking to sell in one piece.
