That’s crazy! For some reason Piermont gets a lot more than the average seller when they have a popular item... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm, I thought I’d never sell mine, but that’s a lot of Tootsie-Rolls...

Weren’t there only ~25 made? How many have any of us here seen for sale?
$2850 - that’s a lot for “used” ti but if you want it it’s not completely outrageous. What do people think would be “fair”? Subtract that from the $2850 and seems to me a small premium for a generally uncontainable frameset. If you bid fair you wouldn’t win. So you need to bid including a premium Last edited by pdmtong; 11-17-2019 at 05:29 PM.

I facilitated Scott Hocks pronto complete with Dura ace Di2 in the same paint scheme with an S5 fork. It was sold for around $150 more than this frame set sold for. It is the highest selling titanium frame set that I believe I have seen sold in the past couple of years. I realize these are very rare bikes and it is a popular size but I would have thought this would have sold for about $1,000 less than it ended up getting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

interesting.
the list of folks who have even heard of Serotta are getting older and older, and the list of people who have any real idea of what the Pronto was all about has to be quite limited for sure. it would definitely not surprise me if the buyer was a member of this forum. it's pretty rare frame for sure, and if you have to have one, if it comes up in your size you have to put all the chips in the middle i guess, the odds of another coming up anytime ever are slim. i hope the new owner enjoys the hell out of it!

I don't get it. From the description, I infer that it has been on eBay for a few years, first listed when the Serotta company was still in existence. Why does it sell now for so much?

Unfortunately it’s not headed my way. I had a bid ready to go at 2250 with a few seconds to go and it jumped up before I could even submit my bid. I thought it would go for low 2000’s but not all that surprised at final price. The good news is I can keep my current Serotta and have money on hold for the elusive 54-56cm engraved Cyrene

Maybe if it were NOS I could understand the price and clearly it was worth it to somebody. I know there are like 25 of these bikes. Looks like there are more around this size though as I have seen a few in circulation over the years. I have about the same amount into my entire No22 Great Divide with Campagnolo group and hand built Belgium+ to t-11 hubs. Welded by the same guy and arguably a newer version of these bikes with some improvements. Definitely not knocking this frameset as the one I saw in person was stunning and just a larger version of this. I am sure whoever spent the $$$ will enjoy it! Anybody know what these retailed at?
