Serotta Legend Replacement
I’ve been riding Serottas for quite some time and had many other bikes along side them. Currently I have 2 Legends and one Ottrott. Also have a Cervelo C3 and a Felt z1. Im thinking about thinning the beard and getting a ti bike with disc. Any Serotta lovers here who have made the transition to another ti builder who can recommend them that we be comparable to the Serottas I’m used to?
TIA |

All the Serotta DNA in tact over there!

Do they do custom geometries?

Yes. If you were not aware a bunch of former Serotta guys are over there. They do some really nice work, and would say they are picking up where Serotta left off. They are really taking steps to control every part of the bike, printing their own parts, making stems, their own coupler system, etc.
Check them out.

I'm with angry No22 is the way, it'll be built and designed by the same guys who were putting together your Serotta at the end.
Custom geometry is available and they'll tailor the tubes and butting to deliver the "promise" of whichever model you choose. They won't go total custom and build you a step-through townie bike, but they'll make the geo and handling right for you based on their models. I say this as someone who has two No22's, a custom for me Reactor and a stock 54cm Great Divide that I picked up used. Both are excellent bikes and working with Scott and team at No22 (through Cyclesport) to design my Reactor was a great experience and I got exactly what I wanted with the bike. It's an out of this world incredible bike and is definitely the "next generation" Pronto that I wanted. |

I have had two No22 (Great Divide Disc and the Aurora). Both super amazing bikes. I would not hesistate to go to No22. But...
I like my Bingham Built better. The Built is not a looker like either of the No22's but the ride of the Built...man oh man...buttah. Get a Built! |

No. 22’s are excellent. I’ve had a Broken Arrow for a few years and the bikes have progressed nicely since mine was built. BTW they’re not Serotta v2; they’re much more compelling than that.

I used to have a Legend.
Now.I ride a Spectrum and a Merlin. Both Ti. The Spectrum is fabricated by Seven, even though it's designed by Tom Kellogg. Seven is worth considering, they might have a shorter lead time

Is there any reason you are not considering a new Serotta? https://serotta.com/bicycles/duetti

No22 came about after Serotta went under. They make some of the finest titanium bikes available! I have had a few and they were all top notch!

Although not related to Serotta, I had my Ti-Carbon bike built as sort of a modern day Ottrott by Firefly, but the wait is really long now. I agree with everyone else's suggestions about No. 22 or Kelly Bedford for the Serotta connection. I'd considered a bike by Kelly, but Firefly spoke to me more. If you don't care as much about the Serotta connection, there are many great Ti builders and I think there have been several threads about the options.
