I just checked the link to the Heritage Collection frames. I'm disappointed. I've reposted my comments here:

"I guess "Heritage" means pre-Colorado Concept tubes which I considered Serotta's signature. They're not on the Heritage collection.

Only ONE fork rake is offered, yet the text says it was designed with Tour de France tested geometry. I refuse to believe all their Tour designed bikes of the era had the same fork rake. The "one size fits all" fork rake came about with the introduction of carbon forks and Serotta's Tour bikes pre-dated carbon.

Eyelets on the rear dropouts? Why? There are no rack mounts to match to them, and if you would install a rear fender, wouldn't you want a bike with front eyelets, too? Well, this bike has none on the carbon fork.

The only upside to this product I can see is, it appears you can order them direct from the factory.

C'mon Serotta, you can do better than this."

Go with the CSI or Atlanta.
