SEROTTA ATX; finally finished ,....T.G.!

[P20]

The pink Fuquay that my mate has, had its seattube replaced. We were talking to the frame builder, really interesting stuff.
It wasn't just a simple take knackered tube out, put a shiny new one in.
He put a 31.8mm in place of the 28.6mm, this allowed him to remove the old welds from the connecting tubes and ensure a better fit/weld. He also adjusted the stays accordingly.

Oh and nice BTW

Already an idea with what parts to finish it?

Red;
- Paul rear derri
- Lover levers (silver/red)
- Motolite V-brakes (silver/red)
- USE bar
- Cook Bros crank with middelburm
- Moby post
- Paul Brake Boosters (maybe)
- Chris King Headset
- Chris Kind classic Hubs F+R (with Mavic sub cer. rims, red caps and black td spokes)
- Ringle Ti-Stix
- Ringle HO bottle carrier
- Blade and other small bolts

Black;
- Syncros Stem (nos)
- Cables ride on gore tex
- Serotta Flite sadle
- XTR Front derri (looking for a red paul deri)
- Tyres (do not know yet but for now have NOS Onza's as a spare)
- Switchblade fork with Serotta "S" decals on the legs

and i hope i can buy the silver proshifters from Vitor with the red grips

that's about it,..but still open for offers of anything else in red which is NOS and would fit on the Serotta

i am afraid to touch it,...

Jeeezuz, that really is amazing.

I still can't believe they sorted it all out as a "lifetime warranty";
That's what I call impressive product support!

Enjoy it!
Now you get to go through the torment of "the first scratch" all over again

Can't really say anything that hasn't been said before- stunning. Product support is fantastic too, if only all companies were as good...
