Help id Coors Light bike
Well - I'm thnking this has to be a factory repaint - has an SLX decal, no Colorado tubes, and the seatstays are deeply scalloped at the top and tacked to the seattube lug. The "sponsor"logos are correct and under the clearcoat and it has a Cinelli bottom bracket. Any input is appreciated!

Bike was discussed over on BikeForums. Opinions are varied on what it is.

As mentioned on bikeforums, it looks like a Nova. Could be SL or SLX but frame details are definitely mid 1980s so predates Coors Light era. I'd look at the repaint as a plus - would love to have a Serotta with that paint even if the year of the frame was outside the Coors Light range.

A factory replica is just that, factory. Someone sending their frame in to have it repainted in the replica scheme isn't the same thing. A seller having that info and not relaying it isn't right either. |

It's a repaint for sure. Many owners got Coors repaints due to the big excitement at the time that the team generated.
I built a few Nova-ish team bikes in era (non-Colorado) for the small and light weight guys on the team but they would have had fast back seat stays, under-the-BB cable guides, vertical drops....etc and this bike is certainly not one of these. The serial number is the thing that will tell when it was built and the paint, decals and tubing decal could have been done at most any time. All that said....cool bike. dave |

Weren't the Coors Team bikes built from True Temper tubes?

pretty sure the only Serotta true temper frames were the Huffy branded 7-11 bikes
