Att: TEAM TITAN (Big guys). Want an Hors??

[William]

Big Hors for sale (http://cgi.ebay.com/Serotta-Hors-Categorie-C5TI-Titanium-Road-Bike_W0QQitemZ7205189660QQcategoryZ98084QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem)

FYI...

Hey TT (or anyone else from Team Titan), are you looking for an Hors? It appears to be around a 66 or 67 cm. This is interesting but I'm looking for a cross rig. I have no affiliation to this sale, just found it cruising e-Bay. Judging from the description, the person selling isn't the owner. No reserve. Legit?

Finally a bike that would fit! :banana: I'd given up on hopes of ever finding anything used.
Too bad I can't afford it (or at least get my wife to agree that it's worth the sacrifice) :crap: :crap:

TT,
I don't see that I'll be able to bid on this, but if you figure out the measurements would you mind filling me in?

[Too Tall]

For you??? Of course :) What's the price now? Looks perfect. I'll get the serial #

[dave thompson]

TT,

If the guy is measuring the frame correctly, 26 1/2" translates to about a 67CM. A better thing would be to ask for the serial number, that would tell everything. It's obviously a custom, so an enquiry with the serial number to Serotta would be best.

[Argos]

Wow! According to this listing the bike weighs "Maybe 10 lbs"!! :rolleyes:

[Kevan]

all of about 10 lbs.

[Argos]

Do you think you could buy it then file a complaint with ebay or Paypal for the actual weight being 200% of claimed weight? :D

I also Like the "Mavica" Wheels and the Serotta "Neck" and the chainring descriptions.

[ergott]

Wow! According to this listing the bike weighs "Maybe 10 lbs"!! :rolleyes:

10lbs without tires and tubes. Come on, you know that adds at least 10 more pounds. ;)

Please use the right term--I think you mean "rubber", not "tires"

How "in-the-wide-world-of-sports" could a 67 centimeter bike have
a standover of only 34.5"??? :crap:

You need this sled big guy, it has some yellow parts, it screams WILLIAM. :banana:

[Kevan]

this thing's pot luck.

[indyrider]

I asked for the TT length and the HT length and heres the response:

"Hello friend it 64cm serial # chc 64092"

I do love the novice descriptions and the weight--Excellent!

[Ahneida Ride]

64 is too small for Uncle William !!!!

It will work .... but the Big Guy needs a 65-66 minimum.

[rphetteplace]

anybody in Denver want to go measure it up? I called Serotta and apparently the records were toasted off the computer and they don't have the geometry.

[Too Tall]

Yesh :rolleyes: Now I have a morbid curiosity as to what this seller's up to. Smells a bit, non?

[William]

Hard to tell for sure but judging by the HT in the picture it seems a little larger then a 64.

I know dude, but with procuring The Farm and the upcoming move, if I go for it Mrs William will....
A.) Kick my arse.
B.) Not talk to me for at least six months.
C.) Not have....ah...relations with me for about that long.
D.) Slash the tires on my other rigs when I'm not around.
E.) Give the Serotta Skunkbird to the first person walking by the house.
F.) And last but not least, try to turn Rhea Basset against me. I can't have that, I love that dog. :banana:

Besides, I'm already catching enough heat for scraping a budget cross rig together. :rolleyes:

Timeing is everything eh?

William ;)

[rphetteplace]

it's a 64 according to the serial #

[William]

it's a 64 according to the serial #

I'm not disputing that. Just saying, to me, from the picture, and comparing the image to the Skunkbird proportions, it seems a little bigger....but I've been known to be wrong on occasion. :banana:


William

[Kevan]

no taking pictures of bikes while standing. The resulting distortion of the photo makes it virtually impossible to guesstimate/confirm frame size. It's like nobody knows how to bend their knees for cripesake!

[rphetteplace]

I just talked to the guy TT is about 61cm and ht is 25cm

Tell me about it. :rolleyes:

Every time my mother in-law tries taking a picture, she stands there, rolls out her ankles and touches her knees together so her feet are pointing at each other. She then bends forward at the hips and tilts her self sideways and looks like she's either about to have a siezure or trying to squeeze out some gas. No one understands why but it makes us all laugh or Arses off. Funny, the pictures usually turn out pretty good. :confused: Maybe she knows exactly what she's doing???


William ;)

[William]

Huh, that's actually shorter then the Skunkbird. PASS!! ;)

You nailed it Kevan. :beer: (Root beer that is ;) )


William

[scrooge]

Oh well. I'd get in trouble if I tried to buy it anyway. Incidently, I though it looked bigger than a 64 too. Here's a pic of my old 64 (C/T) for comparison (of course, it's got big ugly oversize Aluminum tubing that probably skews things) Pardon the doofus holding it up.

[DfCas]

"10lbs without tires and tubes. Come on, you know that adds at least 10 more pounds. "

each tire has over 100 pounds of air in it,so total weight must be over 200 pounds. :banana:

Seriously,a friend of mine bought 4 car tires/wheels from an online retailer.The shipping department called him and told him they did not inflate the tires,since it would increase freight costs so much. :crap:

On a more serious/useless note,a 23mm road tire,inflated with a pump,has 11 grams of air in it.A CO2 cartridge has 16 grams...

HEY, WAIT....A.....SECOND!!!



rphetteplace, just how tall are you!!



William ;) ;) ;) ;)

[rphetteplace]

6'6" :)

[Ahneida Ride]

Uncle William is right.

Sure does look bigger then a 64. I ride a 64.

My guess is 65-66.

It may not go for much. Not to many Big Galooths on there !

[rphetteplace]

that's what I'm praying for! :banana:

[shaq-d]

don't fool yourself. ti'll go for a high price. with so many days left it's already bidded up several times...

it looks like a 64 to me...

hey scrooge are u kidding about ur bike being a 64? it looks like a 56/57..

man u need the serotta forum's hit a funk when half the posts here are ebay

sd

[scrooge]

Okay, I should drop this, but I'm still not past this yet...
Wouldn't a 25cm HT be a little large for a 64 (C/T)? My new bike has a 27 cm HT and my ST is 67.5--but that's with two degree sloping TT. I suck at math and no little to nothing about frame design, but it seems to me the ratios here just don't wok out. But what do I know.

And I think it will go for quite a bit--we big folks hardly ever get a chance at used goods. The few who this will fit are prone to go wild (IMHO). Present company excluded.

[rphetteplace]

It's 64 c-c, that's the known part(from Serotta Andrew) the other measurements were done by the seller and may or may not be the most accurate.

That makes sense. Thanks. Now I can sleep tonight.

[alancw3]

you're right! when us big guys finally get a chance to bid on something that really fits we tend to go WILD! so help me out here. what would be a good price for this ride?

funny i was just about to bid on the 62cm colorado but had reservations because it really is too small and i already have a vintage bob jackson lugged frame ride. also not crazy about a black and purple ride.

give me a price range for the hors? thanks.

[Too Tall]

...it's a Titan thang ;)

Hope you get it sir.

My 60 cm Legend had a 19 HT- add a HT extention- you are about right-

all of about 10 lbs.
The lister says it weighs maybe 10 lbs!

Plus, it has a Serotta Neck!

Is that like a "Little neck"? :confused:



William :rolleyes:

[davids]

William :rolleyes:
This one left me nonplused. It says "NECK: Serotta Neck"

I don't think that any of my bikes have necks. I'm worried.

[Jeff N.]

....with a Serotta NECK even! Jeff N.

[Kevan]

there just might be enough tubing ta make two bikes outta that one!

2.5 days left. Price just broke $1,000.
