Legend rear dropouts

[dekindy]

Are the rear dropouts on a 2007 Legend frame titanium or aluminum?

[Brian Smith]

The dropouts on the frame are all the way ti.

Still are.

I was asking a question that I did not know the answer to. If I am too ignorant for the forum just let me know.

He was probably just joking. You learn by asking. Up until a week ago, I thought that dropouts were kids that left high school and never came back. ;) I was a dropout from elementary school.

I watched the machinist at Serotta making them at the open house
a couple of years ago. Ben had all the workers come in that Saturday
so we could see every aspect of the manufacturing process (that must
have cost him in OT pay)

BTW, they are 6/4 Ti

Now that I am a member of the Serotta owner's club hopefully I will get to do that some day. I live in Indianapolis and scheduled a personal tour of the Roark facility in Brownsburg, IN. Bicycle manufacturing is only a small part of their total business. They make parts for the B-2 bomber and I got to walk by that on the way to the bicycle production area. I was tempted by a Roark but decided to go with a Serotta. I guess if I had a Roark and it broke I could have driven it over there for repair. They just don't have the history yet of Serotta. Although they do seem to have a loyal following that is growing.

Serottas are expensive. Many will scoff and go for a
mass produced Asian rig at 1/5 the price. That's ok by me.

But as I watched the Serotta guys welding and swaging and painting and fretting over
every detail of those bikes I came to appreciate what it takes to do that
level of construction and hand work here where you have to pay
decent wages and carry insurance and all the other expenses of
operating in New York.

Who knows how long they will be able to keep from going to Asia or folding?
Paying more for a hand made custom from any builder is sort of like supporting
an artist.
It may not make sense to the "Consumer Reports" crowd, but it
gives me a thrill every time I ride, to know the back story of my frame.
When you get your frame they give you a little card signed by all the
people who worked on it. That sez it all for me.
