Big Guy Meivici in Serotta Garage

[Ahneida Ride]

Check out the Garage .... Nice red and black Big Frame Meivici ! ;)

I demoed one last week at the factory. Amazing bike.

Why can I create frns outa thin air?

surprised you did not steal it too

[jhcakilmer]

I saw that earlier. Are the measurements correct...... 56 TT on a 63 frame?? That seems like odd dimensions, especially considering that the other Meivici listed is a 56 w/ 56.8 TT.

What effect does the slopping Top Tube have ?

Clearly the bike must have been produced for someone and the transaction did not go through. As stated, a 56 "horizontal" tt on a 63 cm bike is very short, and certainly atypical of a "normal" build. I would think that it will be quite difficult to sell that frameset as it is a large bike with a significantly short tt (for that bike). It would fit very few riders.

Does the slope make the TT effectively longer ?
I just do no know.

[Kirk007]

no. As I read the description it is effective length; i.e. what it would be if level. Look at the head tube length as well. This was built for someone with (a) short torso & arms compared to leg length or (b) limited flexibility or (c) who wanted a very upright position. I ride about a 64 cm bike measured traditionally, but have a relatively short torso and not as flexible as I used to be. Even I would need about a 15-16 cm stem on this bike. Probably would have no need for spacers under it though!

6k for a bike built for someone else? That's too rich of a cost/value ratio for my blood even if it was built for me.

A 63cm frame will typically have an effective top tube of 60-61 or so. This particular one is a little off beat. I wish Serotta would provide more info on these garage frames. They espouse the value of building a bike custom for an individual and, one would think they would provide plenty of detail on the frames here, since they appear to be custom.

[jhcakilmer]

Yeah, that TT is crazy short. It might work for a tall female, since they tend to have longer legs and shorter torso. I'm 6'3", and my sister is 6', but her inseam is over 2" longer than mine......so this this might actually be perfect for her.

Now I just need to convince her to sell her car.

No Soup for U :banana:

That's very similar to the copper CDA that I recently acquired from the garage and have posted in the gallery section. Maybe the same guy ordered both frames!

Yes, there certainly are people who fit those dimensions. I'm one of them--just 6 ft tall, but with an 84 cm saddle (to the bracket saddle height).

Maybe Pee Wee Herman is looking for a new ride?

[Elefantino]

Maybe it's just a tall guy with short arms.

Peaks my curiousity. How could this happen? Don't you have to pay upfront BEFORE the bike is built?
