Happy to report that I'm officially a Serotta owner and making my first post.

I purchased friessco's Ottrott he posted here: http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=116914

Since this is my first post, I'm not able to reply to either his original post or the "Feedback for Buyers and Sellers" thread over in the classifieds area.

However, I did want others to know what a pleasure the whole transaction was, how friessco was very fair in the deal, and that the bike was in better shape than I could have imagined. friessco lives about 45 minutes away, so I was able to meet him, see the bike in person and neither one of us had to deal with packing/shipping/unpacking the bike.

I've had a chance to make a few tweaks to adjust the bike to my needs and finally got out today for a quick maiden ride. The high wind made for a crazy ride, but the bike exceeds my expectations. I can't wait to get back out on the road for a real ride!

That was my first thought, too.

A little further clarification -

So I'm a new owner of a used Serotta (not a "New Serotta" owner). The bike was originally purchased by user friessco on this forum as a store demo. He treated it with great care and ended up not riding it much. So now I'm the proud owner of a like "New Old Stock" circa 2005/2006 Ottrott.

I couldn't agree more on the paint job - looks and rides great!

Welcome! Feel free to share more of your impressions of the bike once you get in some more miles. And hang around and post. It's fun and informative.
