Check out the aerial view of the Serotta factory

[cydewaze]

They have a sat/aerial photo (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=+41+Geyser+Road,++Saratoga+Springs,+NY+12866&t=h&om=1&ll=43.061018,-73.820229&spn=0.005926,0.013014) . It's pretty cool. :)

Looks like some good riding around there, if you can keep off the train tracks.

A moon roof as it were.

Wow, that looks like a very large factory. Sort'a like P. Weigle's X 200,000, atmo. How many Serotta are produced every year?

my memory is a bit sketchy, but that layout doesn't look right to me. We sure about this photo matching the address?

actually that is not the factory but the employee lounge!!!!!

I believe the factory is about 3 inches to the east on the N. Side of Geyser with the squared off "U" shaped driveway. The actual factory has yet to be built in this picture and all that is there is the lovely farmhouse.

correct, the picture is old as the factory had yet to be built. The factory you are looking at is the Ball plant as in containers....

Oh, thanks for the clarification. For a minute I thought Serotta owned Giant and Trek, atmo. :confused:

[Ginger]

Ha! I've seen this error made before.

Yep, the farmhouse is there, no factory.

Stuipid Google! :mad:

what's that track about 5 inches to the left? A cyclocross course?

[Litespeeder]

Are the walls triple butted? Serotta Construction Inc (SCI), a subsidiary of the parent Serotta company, has made claims over the years that triple butting the walls of a building can greatly improve the insulation properties of the building. Their testing has shown that triple butting the walls keeps the inside warmer during cold days and cooler during warm days. Go figure.
