Good luck to SF. If the same Serotta builders are assembling these frames, I suspect they'll be of very good quality.

You did see they brought back steel? And you can still buy Serotta SE and SG frames.

similarish, but not confusingly similar, so as to confuse a consumer.

the FF logo is more abstract.

you're always going to "look" like something else. they're objects, who cares if the badge looks like ff's. guess what? all bikes look similar

i'm not convinced they did.

ought to have had a design competition, to raise brand awareness, with a custom frame as the prize.

not so many frame builder have a geo brand name.
