Thoughts on 2006 Fierte Ti

[skip0327]

I spotted a 2006 Fierte Ti on sale for $2499.00 at the LBS in the town I'm in for business reasons. The build was a Columbus Fork - model unknown, Easton wheels, Ultegra group, Richey Stem, FSA seatpost, Fizik Aliante saddle, that's all I can remember. The LBS is an authorized Serotta dealer. I've only got a couple of days before I return home. I need opinions on this bike.

Thanks......

If it fits - - it is a nice bike...


a new Fierte lists at some of the dealers I know at around 3400. Depending on fork.

Have it shipped to you if another state and save the sales tax in that state

We bought a Fierte Ti 2006 with almost the exact same configuration (Ultegra 10sp, Easton Vista SL, Kestrel fork, FSA stem, bars, and post, Fizik saddle, Conti Attack/Force tires) for my partner. She absolutely loves it. The somewhat relaxed geo and forgiving Ti gives it a plush ride. We bought ours out of state for $300 less than the price you were quoted and had it shipped to us, thus saving the tax. Good luck.

Is that the 100% Ti version? Man, that's a nice bike. Nicer even than the version where Serotta added the carbon rear. In either case, if it fits, it's a bargain and a half.

Serotta's stock geos rule - you're better off with them than with anything less than an expert fitting.
