Serotta really?
I'm skeptical about this one:

Serotta did make some aero carbon frames... no idea on how to tell if it's a legit vs fake if that is what you are asking.

Here is a listing from Rustylion (former serotta ceo ) sharing some info about his ae he was selling

Yeah, that was a surprise for me too. There is a similar looking Serotta that is also for sale on-line now.

Sure looks like a Meivici AE.

Not many were made. They were heavy and I don't remember many ride reports but you could search the forum....

yes, that appears to be a prime example of the butt ugly ae model.

(although the one with a fake wood paint job looks awesome. )

Could be legit....but be wary. Very.

I don't know how many were actually sold, but the Meivici AE was definitely a real model.

That's definitely a MeiVici AE. The wood-grain painted one is apparently for sale, too:

Ummm......uhhhh....

That's an AE. Serotta made 'em indeed. A friend had one in NYC, and while it was geared to be a TT/Tri rig (as the pic above indicates), some guys set 'em up for road as well (which was the case of the one I'm referring to). They were VERY expensive. I saw a few now & then coming out of Signature Cycles in the city at the time.
