My first post and I was your first bid.

[Louis]

Am I blind, or is there very little geometry info on these?

(Not that I'm going to bid, I was just wondering.)

[MattTuck]

this frame has an unorthodox 4.5mm down-sloping top tube


What else do you need?
I would expect more geometry information, but maybe for the 3,500 you are just paying for the optionality of it fitting you.

It may be worth it, just for the parts.... they look fresh!

First impressions don't always count. I had at first quite liked the decals on the cross ride. Now,....I think the're totally naff. The winner ought to ask nicely if they can be changed to the 'authentic' style - might help with retaining the value of such a one-off item.

Hey Louis, these should work great for you :) Buy them leave them in boxes as you don't ever open your new toys and ride them do U ?? :)

so why ask for geometry ?

[David Kirk]

Without some hard numbers on the geometry these nice bikes will never sell on Ebay.

I hope Serotta will dig up the spec sheets and share them.

Industrial secret.

Hey .... The cross bike comes with HandleBra !

[zap]

It might fit.........58cm worked for me before..........tell us more.

Sycip/dekef style seat stay looks cool. US pennies fit?

[Pete Serotta]

I will get the numbers tomorrow from DAVE or STEVE

[Brian Smith]

The cross bike was called a 58 in size because it has the identical contact point locations as the HSG Cross in size 58, though that geometry is no longer on the Serotta website. Some other aspects of the handling geometry were modified from the HSG, and are more in kind with some current and ancient trends. I'd rock it, for sure.

That cross bike is amazing! So glad it is too big for me...

Thanks Mike (all the info you can want and more) This is a wonderful chance to have a "one of" at the wonderful price...... (But if you miss it, SEROTTA STEVE or SEROTTA DAVE will be glad to spec one for you :D :D :D )

[ira38]

:rolleyes: :D :D

So they are available to order, or....not?

Jason and others: The Meivici Cross was one of a kind for NAHBS. Long term we will definately look at doing a carbon cross. Right now we do in steel, ti, and IT (Ottrott) format.

In person the bike is spectacular. Pictures don't do it justice.

[GuyGadois]

Those are beautiful!

[David Kirk]

So who ended up with these? Looks like a few folks got a killer deal.

[fiamme red]

Someone with zero feedback won the Meivici Cyclocross bike for only $4,350!

Isn't the Zipp 404 wheelset alone worth more than $2,000?

[Sandy]

I saw the selling prices and number of bids on another forum that I just visited. Are those prices really accurate? I would think that the prices would be between Serotta and each buyer unless each buyer and Serotta wanted to release them.

It was on ebay so anyone watching the listing would know what it sold for.

That was my thought also...... ebay is public and open otherwise it's not an auction.
