Serotta MTB with discs?

[split]

Is Serotta bringing back Ti mountain bike frames with IS disc brake tabs!? I guess I'll have to go to Sea Otter to find out. I would have opted for disc tabs if they weren't Hayes only when I ordered my Odile. I saw this teaser pic in the main page. :)

Let the dirtly little secret out of the bag!

I don't think that is a MTB. The CS-ST angle is to big. I'm pretty sure that it is a cross bike....or maybe...

The picture file was saved as Sea_Otter_MTB_1.jpg????? Hmmmm. Even still, a Serotta cross bike with discs would be damn sexy.

That Seat stay/Chain stay angle doesn't look too big if it's a large hard tail or one of the more interesting suspension designs. We're so used to looking at FS bikes that the angle on anything hardtail looks huge now.

[musgravecycles]

The last couple mountain bikes I've built have been pretty small.

I stand corrected...

[M_A_Martin]

musgrave...I was only throwing out ideas...I certainly am probably wrong.

It's a funky photo angle too.

Serotta_James revealed that there will be 2 new mountain bike prototypes showcased at Sea Otter in the other thread. Someone must take pictures and post them here for all to see! :)

I'm lusting a Ti/Carbon mountain bike. Am I warmer now?

The OttRott All Mountain?

Cross bikes with discs are not UCI legal.

[Bruce K]

True (as stated in the other thread), but I believe they are legal in lower classes (B & C) of cross races and a whole lotta fun for recreational cross riding.

This just appeared on the main page. A Ti/Carbon bike picture with the file name "Sea_Otter_MTB_2". I'm speechless, utterly speechless. Have the pros been riding Ottrott mountain bikes? Let's see pictures 3, 4, 5....

:D :D

Hmmm, 2 new mountain bike prototypes... I'm going to guess a Ti/Carbon hardtail and a Ti/Carbon softtail. So did I win?

I am now getting excited. i was planning on a new dualie this year, to complement my hardtail. But this could make me change my mind. Hopefully they'll offer it with a 29'er option.

Only Serotta Mtb I've seen in real life is at Mt Snow probably 10 years ago. it was dayglo and had one of the biggest dents n a tube I've ever seen without teh bike actually crumbling. Guy said it had happened in a race a few weeks earlier and he had not had time to call to see about getting the tube replaced.

I've had a Serotta ATi mountain bike for almost ten years now - IMO the ATi/CHT might be the nicest hardtail ever made. It'd be great if they resumed building mountain bikes, although IMO an Ottrott mountain bike would flat-out be too expensive to subject to the kind of abuse I have heaped on my bike over the years.

Keep 'em coming! Picture #3 posted this morning of what looks to be a Ti/Carbon mountain bike. That will be one sweet ride. $8000 mountain bike anyone? I'm salivating now.

[Bruce K]

I'll bet Alexis has hers picked out already. ;)
