would that make this a custom or did serotta do this normally |

That frame looks original and nice. I'd address any rust issues and ride it. |

There was no TT length option starting in 1995. Serotta began sizing all stock road frames the same that year, and decided on the L top tube length for frames above 52 cm. So while L appears in the serial number, there were no shorter TT stock frames after 1994 (at least for a few years), but by 1998 not all models had exactly the same geometry. |

Your stays do look a bit curvier than the ones on my CII SN 432 (blue/yellow). I don't think they are as pronounced as on the neon NHX though (the first model to get the S bend stays). The section directly in front of the dropout goes nearly straight ahead on the NHX, then curves in more sharply.

I just assumed they were the s stays because they curved in both directions but they're clearly not a S as your NHX.

It wasn't clear in the last photo but here's the second bend...although not that much :-(

Mystery Serotta serial number
Thanks, AngryScientist, but I'm still stumped on a frame I purchased recently. Serotta HSG with serial number: HB-X000213. Got the HB, even the X0, but I'm not seeing anything that would indicate the size. What am I missing?
Thanks for any guidance. |
I don't know why they changed the system to include year rather than size. With sloping TTs becoming more prevalent at the time, a comparison to traditional sizing would seem to me to be more important info to have than the year of manufacture.

Trying to determine the geometry of a Legend I am selling in the classifieds...
SN = CTI 50 4617 I read that the C means it's custom...but then what does the 50 refer to? It is neither the top tube or the seat tube measurement. What does a the nominal measurement refer to if it's custom? More pics here: http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=147799 http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psj5nrrxsf.jpg |
The 50 should refer to the effective seat tube length, center to center, on sloping TT frames. In other words, where a level TT would intersect the seat tube.
Maybe that frame was designed as a dropped top tube frame, so the 50 might refer to where the TT would intersect the seat tube if it was attached to the HT with a normal amount of extension above the TT. That's just a guess. Have someone hold a straightedge in a level position approximately where the centerline of the TT would be with a normal amount of HT showing above it. Measure up to the straightedge from the BB center and see if it's close to 50 cm. |
