Is it just me or are there a lot of Serotta's on eBay? Maybe the time of year, folks trying to pay for Christmas got over extended and they aren't riding their Bicycles right now. Are they preparing to buy next years, latest and greatest? Are they just ditching Serotta while they can still get some money out of them?

Of special NOTE:
Full sized road bike with 650 wheels:

One of my favorite mountain bikes of all time, only eclipsed by the SilkTi:

Haven't really searched to many other brands but Moots. With the exception of the guy that has 4 different bike listed at the same time, Moots is about on par with normal amount of listings.

Both of these examples are niche-y bikes that don't look like good choices in the current market.

NO WAY that MTB is going for that kind of cash. Just cause it is Ti and says Serotta, it is still 15 year old tech. For actual riding, this is a waste of money. For collecting, not sure that Serotta has much value on the mtb side.

And who needs a 650c road bike in a 58? No expert but very few triathletes are even riding 650c. I don't get the point of this bike.

I agree with Kona. Those are nicely built frames but in the end, one oddball and one old mountain bike.

I haven't noticed any great number more than usual.

Here's another that I happen to like, but will have limited appeal as built; ex-dbrk CSI with Mavic friction group:

I really like that one too. The saddle, tape, and tires are too much for my taste, but the main components are spot on.

Agreed, too much red. Black saddle, tape and tires would be an improvement.

Black saddle, black tape, tan tires, and stainless cages would be perfection.
