GT Serial Number on a Serotta

Has anyone every seen the GT model designation on a Serotta serial number before?

I have one here that I believe to be a Concours Ti setup with canti tabs for CX / touring use. But I thought those were CT?

I've got a long list of Serotta serial number model codes but this one I haven't seen before.

Thanks!

My concours with canti studs is CCU. It’s also got straight stays since I guess they provide a little more tire clearance than the s-bend stays. Maybe you’re seeing a G and it’s a C? Other details of the frame could help people identify it more precisely if you can post pictures, I’m sure it will help!

I can't help, but in the interest of keeping my list up to date, if you find out, do let me know.

Also, I know the OP is very knowledgeable in all things Serotta, so if there is other stuff missing from my list, it would be helpful to add.

Cheers.

I grand touring serotta sounds cool to me!

Grand Touring. I bet that's it. Cause it's got rack/fender mounts on the rear triangle which you really wouldn't need for CX racing. Here's what I've got for the model list built off yours I think (and I've done some guessing on this list):

TX - Colorado TG
AS - Atlanta
SC - Colorado II, most likely other Colorados as well
SL - Nova Special
SN - Nova Special X and NHX
CT - Concours Ti
LI - at least some Ottrotts
CS - CSI
CO – Colorado III
HC - Hors
TI - Legend Ti as mentioned but also earlier Colorado Ti
TC - Colorado LT
CL - CRL??
CL - Classique Ti
RD = Research & Development
LI - early Ottrott (Legend Integrated)
HI - early Ottrott DKS (Hors Integrated)
CC - Custom Colorado II through CRL through early CSi (I think)
FE - Fierte IT
FI - Fierte (steel)
FC - Fierte Carbon
FT - Fierte Ti
FG - Fondo
HB - HSG in carbon
SP - HSG in Ti
HG - HSG in Ti / Carbon
LE - Legend Ti GS tubing
LS - Legend ST (or maybe SE?)
OS - Ottrott ST
OG - Ottrott GS Ready Custom, Late Model
AX - ATX
SD - Davis Phinney Model
TS - Colorado Soft Tail MTB....or
CT-S - Colorado Soft Tail MTB
AT - Colorado Legend AT
AI - ATI Titanium Hardtail MTB
BS - Ben Serotta Special?
ST - Classique Ti.
TL - Colorado Legend TG
RI - Rapid Tour (ti)
MG - HSG Carbon
HB - HSG SuperComp Carbon Ti Dropouts (2011+)
NV - NOVE???
CXII - CXII
LC - La Corsa
GT - Grand Touring???

I thought it was a C for the last 6 months but someone with eagle eyes pointed out that it was a G and sure enough, it is for sure a G.

I feel ya! My eyes are slowly getting to that point too with some stuff.

A touring Serotta would be super cool. Does the fork have rack mounts too? Guess that’s an easy swap if truly needed.

Curiously it doesn't. Which is weird because it is the stock fork -I bought it from the original owner with it's original build. And I know Serotta was using Alpha Q as a fork supplier during this era. But yeah, also an easy swap.
