Your right Keith, it is a 97. It has a Serotta 25th anniversary sticker on it. It isn't an anniversary special but was built in 97. Post is edited.

BTW, do you have the geometry specs for your CSi?
That's not a picture you see every day. BTW, are you sure yours is from '96? The '96 catalog shows all but the smallest sizes were long "L" which would be indicated in your serial number. My guess is that this is newer than '96.

that must make mine an 04 then, too.
that's nice to know.
i bought it new, old stock...
...55x55...

spiderman -- BTW, did you realize that this has custom geometry...which is what the first "C" in "CCS" indicates.

i was told it was a custom frame
but also that it was a stock geometry
so have always been confused by those terms.
when i had it built
my lbs owner said
it was as if it were
my custom measurements!
so even though it wasn't custom built for me
intentionally...
...it seems so practically...

It could be something other than the TT/ST lengths making it custom. Chainstays, angles, HT, bb drop come to mind. My '02 catalog says 55cm road geometry was:
73/73 angles, 55/55 st/tt, 41 cs, 8cm drop

Custom is a lot more than geometry. Could be stock geometry with different tubing choices to give a particular ride or match the style of the rider it was made for.

2005 Kelly Bedford CSI
62 cm st with 1 degree slope
58.5 cm tt

I don't think it has a serial number; it is in Seattle boxed to be shipped to AZ for the winter and I will check again when I open it.

THIS is the very LAST CSi made.

Built by Kelly Bedford for Kelly.

I rode this bike and it does NOT get any better.

You sir, have a true piece of History.

This pictures do not do this bike justice.

Yes indeed

An older pic with deep drop Cinelli handlebars and DT shifters. Didn't stick with the deep drops for long.

L84dinr -- Very nice...it's hard to go wrong with Big Boy Blue.

Okay, the bike should make it to AZ next week and I think I will be there for a couple of days to ride and maybe take some better photos.

Another photo of my CSI, this time at home in NH instead of hanging on a crane in Port Angeles.
