Serotta test ride programs in L.A.?

[dd74]

Are there any? Has one ever been held here?

[Tom Byrnes]

I have test-ridden Serottas at Sundance Cycles in Agoura Hills on several occasions. I ordered my Ottrott ST after a one and one-half to two hour test ride in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Yes, when the time comes that I want to put down the $$$ for a newer Serotta other than my Paramount Ti, I'd want to take a two-hour, or maybe two-day test ride. I think my LBS would be willing to let me do something like that.

I just wonder what happens during these test programs? Does Serotta come out to a destination with a brace of bicycles in various sizes and materials? Or it is something a shop organizes in conjunction with Serotta?

especially Quebec...

btw, Cycles Performance in Quebec closed months ago. The "Find a Dealer" should get update periodically... so I am officially Serotta dealer-less.

Usually the dealer will put a request in to Serotta to have a demo (if one is available in that size and configuration) sent to them for a period of time.

Does this site still list the schedule for the Serotta demo van visits? I went to one of their demo days in San Diego and they had a bunch of bikes in various sizes for us to ride.

you may be able to hook with the carbon facility down here in Poway/San Diego and find something in your size to ride...

We're actually thinking of doing a group ride down to SD from LA to check out the Poway factory. It'd be cool if they had a bunch of Serottas there in various sizes to try out. Does the SD facility regularly have bikes there, or just lugs?

not sure, but the guy that runs it is on here from time to time... I bet Pete could help us out with this! BTW- Let me me when and I'll meet you guys over there (I live in Poway)
