Serotta '80 Time Trail bike, one of a kind (need help)

[Louis]

A quick Google search finds what you see below. Nitz seems to have had several Serotttas.

Thanks Louis, I saw this one to, beautiful bicycle, but not the one I bought. I would love to have a picture of my bike fully build.

I liked the funny bike era. No multi-million dollar research programs with days in the wind tunnel. Just bunches of smart, hard-working men working the problem.

This bike is going to be awesome built up. Glad to see it found a good home.

Thank you so much for the effort, I'm overwhelmed that so much people reply! I also saw this picture, too bad that those are not the bikes like I have bought.

the seatpost is going to be very problematic, i think.

Ha! I almost posted a PSA here for that frame. Harvey Nitz is good people. Still in California afaik. Reach out to him for the quickest solution on original build questions.

Wouldn't the easiest thing be to send a letter to Leonard Nitz? I'm not exactly Phillip Marlowe but it wasn't difficult to find the gentleman's address.

Yeah what Barry said.

Thanks, I hope I can find a picture so I can see the seat post and other parts. It will be a challenge but that is half the fun!

Thank you, that is a very good option. I will look for his address.

I have written a letter to mr Leonard Harvey Nitz with pictures so I hope I get an reply.

If one of you finds some more information about this specific frame/bike I will be very grateful! Thanks for your help so far.
