View Full Version : F3 fork - who makes it, what does it weigh?

I have the F3 fork on my Ottrot ST, and I've just realised I have no idea if it's a 100% Serotta product, or whether Reynolds were involved in its design or manufacture.

I'm also curious about the weight. I admit to being a half-hearted weight weenie, although I always want the best component, not the lightest. (Sometimes the best IS the lightest - then everyone's happy!) So there's no need to lecture me about weight. I would never swap my Ottrot ST for a Cervelo R3, even though the Cervelo, at 860 grams, is about half the weight of the Serotta. (And by all accounts the R3 is also one of the stiffest and strongest frames around - you can't accuse it of Ghisallo-style flexiness.)

Anyway, back to Serotta-land...please tell me anything you know abut the F3!

F3 is designed by Jason Clark and Ben Serotta of Serotta ofcourse and built by reynolds composites . Don't know the weight but mine at 6.5 weave sure felt very light to me .

I think the F3 forks in all their flavors are heavier than Serotta's previous, the F2.

I do like the drop-outs and decals better on the F2 than the F3.
