Can we ID the model of this Serotta?

[Joe]

I have a bike listed in the classifieds, here:

http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=91875&highlight=1980%27s

Someone has asked me the model of the bike, e.g., Nova, Club Special, etc. Although I'm the original owner, I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember the model, and the Catalogs section of the forum doesn't have a brochure from the year this frame was built.

Is anyone able to tell from the pics what model this is? Thanks.

I have seen only one similar to that one and is here in VA in a shop, from what the owner of the shop told me, his in specific is one of the original serotta's when serotta himself was building them. Not much but probably helps.

Sure looks a lot like this Nova.

Details looks very similar to my Nova.

I have an almost duplicate of that frame in the garage. Rode it for several years. Same color and detailing. Except mine has the flat brake bridge. These were off-the-shelf frames. I bought mine in 1986. I spoke with Ben about it once--he said the paint was the first environmentally-friendly one that they tried.

I couldn't figure out the model either.
