I think that's just what happens when you install a groupset without cutting the hoses.. on a smaller size frame. If cut to fit, they'd look normal.

This frame looks better than Serotta's titanium version, IMO.

Yup, I haven't gotten around to cutting them yet.

I feel that. The stock hoses on my new MTB are prob 6" too long. It's a dang thicket up there with 2 brakes, dropper, 2 lockouts and shift cable...

Hey, gotta nitpick something around here, and Serottas always seem to bring out the haters.

Here's mine, with slightly shorter brake hoses. Honestly the hose routing looks about the same as my Mosaic with an Enve AR fork, it just doesn't go into the DT. Plus the Serotta is a hoot to ride.

Serotta bikes can be polarizing and understandably so, but I picked mine up cheap and built it how I wanted. I like it a lot and have what I feel is a premium bike for mid level money.

The riding I have from my front door is excellent. Great dirt, paved and some MTB trails close by as well! Adirondacks and the Mohawk Valley are only a few pedal strokes in either direction and traffic in practically non existent!

3k for a full electronic build is honestly not bad at all.

TPC just dropped the price to $258!

https://www.theproscloset.com/produc...-frameset-2022

I bought one at $625 and got the last 60cm. I'm okay with that. Can say without a doubt you will not find a better frameset for the money.

Looks like there was only one frameset at that insanely low price and now it's gone!
Serotta still has 3 sizes left at under $600 last I checked.
