Older Serotta Question
Hi guys & gals,
I'm new to the forums, and to cycling in general. My dad, who was a roadie in his glory days, found this older Serotta for me off eBay a few years ago from a triathlete who thinks it's from the mid-90's. Based on the serial # 71245, we are thinking it's actually from 87'. Is that correct? And can anyone else tell me more about this bike? Thanks! Jen |

The '00075' in the serial number denotes that it's the 75th one built of that model.
You can find out a lot more about your bike and a some geometry charts in this Serotta catalog: http://forums.thepaceline.net/attach...4&d=1291899437 |

Fuquay/Serotta Custom CX Ser#
Just received the Greg Fuquay/Serotta Cross frame from oddsaabs, posting the ser# here for reference. Greg supposedly built the frame for himself while working at Serotta late-'80s to early-'90s, oddsaabs bought it from the guy Greg sold it to.
The bb shell is stamped: GF040990 (GF obviously his initials; 4/9/90 the build date?). The steerer tube has the same stamping plus: CX58032. Haven't seen a CX prefix listed here before, but it's a pretty common abbreviation for cyclocross. The frame is a 58cm, so this fits the '90s serial scheme, CX model, 58cm, #032. Can't recall seeing any other Serotta 'cross frames, but haven't looked yet, either. This is a lugged frame, round tubes, straight stays, no chainstay bridge, no tubing sticker---very likely a blend of whatever Greg wanted and/or had around to use. |

Thanks for the CX info. My 2008 (2009?) Heritage Classique CX also has the CX code.
I confirmed from an ebay seller that a 1994 Colorado TTR is coded TT. I'd guess time trial models in other years may have had the same code, but I have an older Tri-Colorado that lacks a serial number as far as I can tell. The steerer tube is stamped "58" but I can't find any other numbers. |

Update: I found the serial number stamped on the right rear dropout. It had been covered in a thick layer of grease.

Colorado Legend Ti?
Hi, I am looking at a bike for sale which is said to be a Colorado Legend Ti. The seller says the serial number is BR56817. I haven't seen this prefix pop up in my google searching. Does anyone have info on this? The bike has no logos on the sides, just a head badge. Thanks

Serial Numbers Decoded
My Serotta track bike is 90557. Not certain, but was told it was built in 89 for a National team member. Would love to know more.

I've got a '92 Colorado Ti and the first two letters are clearly stamped TI. I'd bet that's what are as well. |

Yes, 1989 sounds right, indicated by the 1st digit. I'm not sure if it's the 57th bike built in May (05), or the 557th frame built that year. Either way I'd guess a mid year production date.

I think 2003 was the first year for the HT badge, but since they come up for sale occasionally could have been added to anything. Take a look through the catalogs and see if frame details match anything - or post some pics and let forum members weigh in. |
