Putting the "S" back in Paceline

[Clean39T]

Admiring that DKS Hors'Cat in the classifieds and waiting patiently for my 7-11 inspired MeiVici to land, I'm wondering why there isn't a stronger effort here to stay connected to the Legend that birthed this forum?

A few ideas:

(1) a "sticky" in the classifieds for posting Serotta finds and Serotta-adjacent finds (Kirk, Ellis, Bedford, etc.).

(2) a Serotta-specific gallery for all custom/production Serottas of various vintages

(3) a stickied general-forum post or a sub-forum created to record and compile a best-of guide to the history of the company, its owner(s), its builders, preferred models, its racing heritage, and the like - good, bad, ugly - get it all out there in one place while those who know the stories are still spinning the cranks..

So, Mods n' Members, what think ye?

Here's a good looker to whet the whistler:

The first pictured bike with a monostay is the only Serotta I have seen like that.

The Mevici had a monostay as a standard feature.

Mine.

Believe so. I have Ottrott, Coeur d'Acier, and Attack with the monostay, possibly others. Here's the Ottrott and the Coeur d'Acier.

Love the cx looking bike here. I think a bike like this would be super cool to have in my quiver although I've no need for it.

I have recently been thinking that number of S bikes for sale and discussion in generally around this forum has diminished substantially since I joined. I think one/all the ideas you suggesting are good, Dan. I like the idea of having an S dedicated Section and with this would be included branches of the family tree (e.g. Kirk, Ellis, etc.).

Here's my 2007 Heritage CX.

Some of Mr. Kirk's handiwork. Still have yet to acquire any bikes known to be built by Mr. Wages or Mr. Bedford.
