Not sure if I should say this...

But heck, this is an internet forum.

I've never wanted a Serotta. Not that I think there has ever been anything wrong with them, its just that their vibe always struck me as sort of BMWish. Both great products, but a Serotta badge always seemed more like a statement of of one's coolness to other cyclists (like a BMW or Lexus says, "Look what I can afford.")

It's not like I don't own nice bikes, but somehow the Serotta mystique never clicked for me. Sad to think how much marketing can affect everyone's perceptions, mine included.
