Dave Kirk might be able to tell you more about the builder. I believe he did a lot of the customs. There were probably several guys doing production brazed bikes in those years. |

New Serottas were delivered with a sheet signed off by the people that were involved with its’ build, about 6 to 10 signatures on each build sheet. No one person was solely responsible for the frame.

I'm sure that's true with production frames. Makes sense that one guy cut tubes, another brazed, etc. I know Marci did finish work in the early days. Thinking Dave has said he built customs and team bikes pretty much on his own, at least some years. |

Just guessing that your frame may have an unusual paint job or has been repainted, as CRs normally have the model name on the top tube. Even if painted as a new frame at the factory someone may have specified a decal color that they didn't stock for every model. That typically resulted in frames with either a small Serotta decal in place of the model name, or nothing at all. |

Have been doing some online trawling and I know not purely serial number related, but my frame has a Columbus fork, looks to be a carve but not entirely sure.
Fork is color matched to frame also (orange copper) so may be re spray? Or were frames provided with Columbus forks or did they stick to the f1 forks only? Ta in advance |

While Serotta was a production house, it was also a custom shop. They offered a variety of forks as options for their bikes, see the 2000 catalog as an example and I’d bet they would put most anything a customer wanted on their front ends.

Great info
Thanks for the update on my frame, good to hear. I'm really liking it and was curious about the history.
OT -- like your avatar as well. The farmers working my back 10 acres run a couple of Olivers and they must like them, based on the stckers and tats. -- Dan |

Thanks Dan, you are one of maybe three here to get the reference. Let me know where you are (PM?). Always good to make Oliver contacts.

HI. I'm trying to validate the authenticity of a serial number on a Legend Titanium built in either 2012/2013. The serial number is:

Sorry, I don't have any knowledge about serial numbers that recent. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
