Some of you have probably seen Scozims post a few weeks ago. A friend of his passed away, who had a lifetime collection of bicycles and parts. I went with Scott to evaluate the bikes. Anyhow, all of the bikes were sold off in short time. Except one.

Nobody claimed this purple Serotta. I received a text from Scott a couple of days ago, mentioning that the Serotta was available and if I wanted to buy it. The person helping with the estate was kind enough to meet me just up the street from my house.

As for the purple bike, it is missing a seatpost and saddle. The frame looks to be in good shape, except the seat tube decal(which likely got rubbed by a pump strap). The serial number begins with '84', so I will assume it is from 1984.

It's a Nova Special and here's the mixed bag of parts:

Shifters 7400 6 speed
Derailleurs 7400
Crankset 7400
Pedals 7400
Headset Super Record(me thinks?)
brake levers Dura Ace ax aero
Brakes Royal Gran Compe
Hubs Record high flange
Rims Nisi tubular
Stem Cinelli
Bars Cinelli

I haven't measured it yet, but it is probably around a 55cm...
