Made some changes. 2000/2001 Serotta CHT - a lesson in titanium

[Rambo Mambo]

Speed Needle - best saddle ever (for my butt) - was also thinking that (almost) no padding on a saddle is not rideable - until I tried - now I have them on 2 bikes and even after riding one of the bikes for 8 hours - 3 days in a row - I had any kind of problem with the butt - dont ask me about my legs

back to topic: Serotta is top notch and I am always curious where you found all those tyres which are not just black or skinwall. I also have a soft spot for those tyres - Wildgripper in green and Corratecs Diamant Grip in yellow are my favorite.

Yep agree. They’re comfy. I have 5. As for the tyres I’ve sourced them on this site and eBay and marketplace. The usual really.

Do you worry about the point loads on those carbon rails from the USE post clamp?
A lot of saddle clamps have a trough to support the rails, which would spread the load.

They designed them for steel rails I guess.

carbon rails are often a different diameter to steel, and require a specific post clamp.
I see here these rails are oval, stated as 7.5x9.5mm
Iirc standard rails are 7mm?
I wouldn't clamp it up if it's not a great fit - carbon really doesn't deform into shape well at all, and I think those point loads are unusual.
You could email the manufacturer though?

Tune seatpost it is! if I can find one.

Here we are again.
Boy this has seen some changes. I’m pretty happy with it now. Will cable it up and finish it soon.
Seatpost will be spun round also.
Terrible photos. Awaiting new camera.

That's lovely Rami. Very tasteful (and tasty!)

Kept the very last original red and yellow decal on the seat stay. It’s changed a lot.

Definitely my favourite iteration. Scrumptious.
