New bike--I'm on the Serotta team now...

[paredown]

Picked this up on the weekend--friends purchased it for me (sight unseen) off Craigslist and kept it at their house until we got down to DC--after a sharp-eyed Paceliner spotted it.

Serotta CSi--and some interesting choices for parts (probably most disappointed in the Shimano 600 hubs/mismatched rims--I saw the Campy rear mech and assumed--but I think it is probably someone's aftermarket Campy spacers for Shimano because it shifts very nicely.)

OTOH, it's got the cool (and I think titanium) Syncros seat post (and I think the stem may be titanium as well). Too bad the seatpost shot is out of focus, because below the tubing decal is a shop decal from Germany!

Still thinking about what gets put on this, but even on a test spin, it feels as good as people say! And it gives me a nice 8 speed setup to use on a semi-retro build!

I'm psyched!

Looked at the serial # thread--serial is CS 57 973, has 25 Year anniversary decal, brazed cable stops so probably 1997 production?
