I've got an early/mid-2000's lime green Serotta steel frame cyclocross bike and haven't been able to find anything like it online. Appreciate any help you can provide!

The serial number might help ID the serotta

It looks earlier than 2000's. The logo is from the 80's to mid 90's. Have a look through the catalogs section. Serial number will tell all though.

Are you sure it's not older? Serotta had the RTX straight blade CX fork from 2001 to 2004 or so. The unusual (for Serotta) cable routing, old style USA decal, and engraved fork crown suggest an older bike to me. Is the head tube 1 1/8"? Is there a tubing sticker? What's the serial number? Pics of the dropouts might help.

Man I can't wrap my head around why the fork crown looks backward. Seems like the pictures parts are pointing toward something late 90's. Did the t-max get this cable routing?

I have a non production t max with the same kind of cable routing. It is from the early 90's possibly late 80's.

Very nice!

Mine is from 1998 so I'd guess yours is newer just based on the cable routing.

I'd guess it to be a one-off. Does the serial number stamped into the bottom of the BB shell start with a "C"?

Serotta continued to route cables on stock CX frames as yours is routed at least through 2008. I have one of the Heritage CX frames and it's routed like yours. The Heritage bikes may have been the last production CX Serottas. I'm not sure how long they were built, but introduced in 2008 I think.

As DK suggested, I think it's likely a custom. Would be nice to see more details.
