Serotta Colorado

mauricer · May 18, 2009

I am currently looking into switching to a steel frame and found this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.de/Serotta-Rennrad_...oryZ9194QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. Does anyone know anything about serotta? as it is german i will translate the bits. he writes that in 1997 it was one of the best steel frames available and handmade in the US. apparently this one is from a series limited to 480 bikes.

it is exactly what i am looking for and my size but unsure about the quality.

thanks in advance

Regarding the quality of Serotta: it is one of the best out there

small translation:
It is size L, which means that is has a long top tube, height is 59cm.
According to the seller this was a limited edion of only 480 pieces.
Serotta build their frames by hand and still do.
It has some some visable marks from the normal use.

looks nice to me..

I can vouch, serotta is top notch. my neighbor has one decked out in full campy, god its so nice; and the craftsmanship is second to none.
