I guess this could be misinterpreted as a PSA…I found a Serotta Hors Categorie Ti frame on eBay that seems like a fit but I'm unable to find geometry data and the seller has only provided minimal info (listing is here (http://www.ebay.com/itm/252649131943)). Also, since the frame serial number shows "C HC 53 104" I believe it's custom geometry (I understood that's what the initial 'C' means).
Seller says that both the seat tube and top tube are 53cm; my current saddle height is 73.2cm but I'm looking for a shorter ETT (current frame has 530mm ST c-c, 545mm TT).
Would love answers to any of these:
- Based on the fact that my current frame is a good fit in height but too long in reach, will this Serotta fit meaningfully better?
- Opinion about the Ti HC's ride quality and performance? (I know there are a lot of Serotta lovers here)
- Is $1400 for only frame & CK headset too steep?
- If I buy it, what fork dimensions do I need (recommendations invited)?
Much appreciated for any thoughts.
