But to the questions, please no. No more sub forums, stickys, or otherwise. I've been here for years, and when I got here it had already moved past the basically defunct brand.
I never think about it having been a Serotta forum. It doesn't matter.
I agree - I owned a Legend and it was a fantastic bike - I still Love looking at these photos, but itโ€™s no longer a Serotta tribute site - these bikes just integrate in with everything else, in my opinion.

I would love a mid-reach braked with 35mm knobbies someday!

The Meivici is gone, but still in the family. The CDA has found a loving home in Vietnam, and the other two should be hitting the road next year with my Beat Cancer Legend ST.

This Atlanta was my intro into what a "real" steel bike could feel like. I got it from CL for a song since the shifters were dead. Had them rebuilt when it was cheap to have 8 speed brought back to life.
It was a 56cm frame, 1 size too small but I rode the snot out of it before moving it on.
Pretty low rez since it was a long time ago. I have owned several more Atlantas and other steel framed Serottas.

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

Love my two current Serottas, bought both used for a, I think decent prices (both bought within the last two years).. previously had a beautiful Concours I should have never sold..

my Fierte steel (bought for $750):


and my Coeur D' Acier that I scored for $500 with Campy 10 triple.. sorry for the not so great pic, the bike is getting upgraded with Ultegra R8000 (just can't get along with Campy10 hoods):


Love the paint on this bike, a subtle metallic that just pops in the sun:

I have a Fierte Ti that I bought on this forum in 2016. It is stock geometry and it closely matched the steel Argonaut I lost in the Southwest Frameworks fire in late 2015. It was my main ride through 2018 with a mix of Record/Chorus 11 and a set of wheels Peter built on silver Record hubs. These days, it stays on the KICKR and the Open and Lynskey see the road miles.

Give it a big 'Like'

Perhaps the part missed was that we need a permanent link/subforum/whatever to collect all the Serotta info etc. in one place, whether or not Serottas are discussed elsewhere too. Kind of an active time capsule, and available to all even if not 'fresh'. It's the Peoples' Will.

My recent investigative poking around trying to find the history of a Cinelli/Centurion frame is an example: I read tens (a hundred??) of disparate online threads, catalogs, etc. and compiled all in a text file I created. If only there had been one place for all the info! Maybe few would want the info, but to those it would be invaluable.

Make this the silver/blue fade, and this is the bike that I drooled over. Tasty.

Carbon HSG built for Di2. Great bike.

And a 58cm Fierte IT, now sold. Occasionally ask myself why exactly I sold it, too. Had a 60cm IT, too. Both of them were great bikes.
