I'm partial to the brushed/black Ottrott. Stunning. Who refinished that?

Mine-old photo, now with eps11 and lightweights and different bars. But still the bike in the quiver that gets reached for first:

That was the original factory finish. I liked that it didn’t have any logos on the downtube or seat tube. I ended up sending it back to the factory to be refinished—it’s actually the same frame in the photo in white/brushed with SR11 and the Lightweights.

The Legend with the 3/4 paint job is either the third or second last Legend thst Serotta made before closing doors for good as Serotta (the factory briefly reopend as Saratoga Framewoorks.

The Legend singlespeed originally belonged to Scott Hock. He referred to it as his “blinglespeed”—I kicked it up a notch.

Scored this bargain on FBM. One owner. Frame is minty.

The components are going away. Complete Ultegra 9-speed triple out; Chorus 11 (minus crankset, still to come) in. Post, stem and bars will swap for Ritchey silver bits coming from Q. Not sure about the R-Sys wheels, I may keep or sell and use a set of AC350s I have.

Steel is back in the house!

Attention Paceline Serotta aficionados:

I have a call set up with Ben later this week to discuss a Springtime Serotta Studio meet/ride.

Shine up your Serottas and Stay tuned.

This very early production 60cm Fierte IT was a really nice bike. Only the early ones had the straight wishbone seatstay. Later ones had the curved stays.

Kinda miss it. Rode very well.

In the roughly ten years I owned it, the fork went from Ouzo Comp, Alpha Q-Z, Reynolds Ouzo Pro Lite, Pegoretti Falz, Seven 5e, Reynolds Ouzo Pro, and Serotta F3.

Hmmm, looks just my size... LMK if you decide to let it go, the purple one I have is nice looking but I like your bike's color better

I have to make the conversion first. Probably not for a while as I source a crankset.
