NOT a PSA...

I sure love these old yellow/red fade serottas, but good grief, talk about being out of touch with the market...

It's a PSA to not spend that much on this bike! :eek:

But it's a one owner. Probably ridden only on Sundays to church...:)

wow, look at that gearing. I remember when I was 20. Kinda

That's "see dear, nobody will give me what it's worth" pricing

It's those classic slice and dice Spinergys that take it "over the top".

I'm surprised those Spinergy's are still in one piece. Probably ridden only every *fourth* Sunday to church...

Isn't it a crime to sell those things back onto the second hand market??? :banana::banana::banana::banana: Good times, good times :)

Ad copy is wrong about groupset, too.

Still collectible.

That thing was the bike to have in 91-92.

I can see how it would be a low mileage model as it would be hard to rack up the miles without pedals.

talk about being out of touch with the market...


As I interact more and more with cyclists outside of this forum, I realized more and more that we are a niche of a niche, and not representative of the general overall cycling population at all. We can't take what we know for granted and automatically extrapolate to other cyclists. We are more of the exception than the rule.

The price will be even higher if you want it without the Spinergy wheels.

but this is the ultimate serotta steel frameset: lugged; steel fork; proper threaded headset; proper horizontal rear dropouts; downtube shifter bosses; tacky fade paint. if this rig fit you and you could get if for reasonable price...

Oh man did I want that exact bike so bad back then!!

I was telling Ben Serotta about my crush on that frame a few years back when we were doing some custom work for him and he told me that this paint job came about late at night the day before they were leaving for Interbike and he was spraying a bike and ran out of the yellow, but had a second gun loaded up with the red for another bike and the fade was born..
