Dear fellow Serotta riders,
I received a very excited call 2 days back from a friend who spotted a Serotta Classique Ti at a LBS, apparently at a closeout deal. He is currently riding an alumniun bike, and after my many praises on the Serotta CHT ride, he has been quite shaken, and want to try out the Serotta ride as well.
I went to the LBS with him last evening, and very unfortunately, it was in his size. :p The fit is perfect! That means he will have to seriously consider buying it, and think hard on how to tell his wife about buying another frame so soon!
I tried to do some research on the model, but could not find much information and would appreciate any help, reviews, opinions on it. I confess that I am a mountainbiker, and do not know anything about roadbikes.
1. What years were this model produced?
2. How does it compare to current models? What is the equivalent to today's model?
3. The titanium technology of the Classique is S2Ti, whilst my CHT is C4Ti. Is there alot of difference?
4. What was the Recommended Retail Price?
Finally, is it worth 1300 Euro, or should my mate opt for a later Serotta?
Many thanks for any help!
roadbike idiot, fishy
