Not that it matters at this price.

These are clearance, and have clearly been sitting in his warehouse for a while (since 2017 or so). The $250 one was a used demo frame so they baked the cost in there. It's no different to how I got some Bontrager winter boots from Trek for $50 that retailed for $250 at one point, sometimes the accountant says just cash out for what you can..

These things are crazy deals at the $575 theyre asking for, and glad to see Weisan got one. I've been very happy with mine.

hahaha...cm pal, you know me too well.

I got everything to build this puppy up except the BB which is in order.

My hacks are not pretty but they worked, that's the most important.

Velcro velcro velcro....one of the most ingenious inventions of mankind.

they are used demo, really?

when I took it out of the box, I could have easily mistaken as new...not a scratch anywhere, not on the dropouts or bb or any place that has an outside interface.

Anyway, I was motivated to move forward with this in part after reading your positive reviews so thank you sculler pal.

Yours is brand new. There were some demos available even cheaper. I am pretty sure that is what I received as it doesn't have all the Serotta decals and has a D on the head tube.

I went to bed early at 9, woke up around midnight to go to the bathroom, that's when I saw Clean's post...and the rest is history.

Yes, I think so, it certainly looks like it.

Also, appreciate reading your positive review, hill pal.

Clean pal, I owe you my thanks for posting that link to TPC.
When I called up the page, there were only three frames left: 49cm, 51cm, 58cm.

I compared the reach and stack numbers, the 58cm was pretty close to the Spectrum Ti that I am riding now so I knew it would work.

I am going to install di2 on it, holes or no holes it doesn't matter to me, not even one bit.
Right now, I am just missing BB (already ordered), a couple of di2 wires, that's it.

I wouldn't think twice about drilling holes for Di2. Serotta lists on their site that having holes drilled for Di2 is available by request. Obviously they don't think it's a problem. Drill baby drill

It looks like yours is new too, and came just like mine did without any of the newish Serotta decals they seem to be adding. Who knows, I had seen the ads for the sub $300 ones saying demo or floor bikes rather than new.

Hope you enjoy it! Is this your first modern disc bike?

Nice! Look forward to comparing notes..

If I had more cash laying around when these went on super-sale I’d have bought them out and started a “Team Dancing Banana” Service Course..

Ugh I had one i bought for really cheap around 2011.. It had Sram 10 Force and the black Mavic SSC brake calipers... One of the top 3 bikes i wish i never sold Fit me so well and I dont think i had a good reason to sell it. I was just so compulsive back then.
