Serotta tubes and BB shell sought.

Frame looks great. I'm glad to see that you saved it.

Not bad, not bad at all

Congrats

Thanks all. Frustratingly I forgot to put the Silca in the box when i posted the frame to Rob, so that needs to go off to be painted to match, then I can start thinking about what I'm going to build this up with.

MOAR:

[tuscanyswe]

Beautiful!

So what are you going to build it up with? I think last time it was ultegra right?

Id go campy but thats hardly a surprise i guess..

[Neil]

Not sure tbh, I've got Campy on my Serotta CX bike and my other CSi.

TBH I was thinking DA and Zipp 202's.

Paint job came out awesome.

All-black build with DA FTW

I'm thinking of buying this Serotta seat post, could I get some guidance on what would be a fair price for it (without the saddle)?

Here's the bike as it stands at the moment - with Serotta titanium stem, but the post is a titanium Syncros one, which is nice but the Serotta ti/carbon post would be a precise match for the stem.

Seat post seller won’t post internationally- would one of you chaps be willing to help me out?

[mhespenheide]

The two links in your post, above, only point towards pictures of your own bike. Where's the seatpost that you're looking for?

[Neil]

Ah, that’s embarrassing. One second.

This is the seat post, a Serotta carbon/ti inline unit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Serotta-T...e/114576098350

Those seatposts have sold for around $150 in the classifieds in the past. If you do a search here (https://forums.thepaceline.net/searc...archid=5120355), you will find that members have had mixed experiences with the clamping mechanism. Some had problems with slipping, others not.

Personally, given the age of the seatpost and clamp design, I would look for a ti post with a modern clamping mechanism (e.g., Moots, Eriksen, Firefly, etc.). You can have the post bead blasted to match the finish on the Serotta stem. Just my $.02.

[Neil]

TBH the Syncros post is perfect from a function standpoint, and it's about the right period for the frame, I really liked the idea of having the properly matching finishing kit from Serotta.

Interesting that the posts usually go for $150, I was rebuffed at twice that!

Post a wtb add in the classifieds. At some point there’s bound to be someone who has one and is interested in selling. My search above doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone—in case it doesn’t work for you, it was for “serotta carbon seatpost.”
