86 Serotta Nova Campagnolo - Paint Teaser Pics & More!
 

I finally got my Serotta Nova Super Record back from David Cheakas at Southwest Frameworks. The color is Lexus Matador Red Mica, which I promptly realized is very very difficult to photograph indoors. I'll have to get some more photos outside when the sun comes back out and the build gets going.

But for now here are a few teaser pictures. Build is going to be full 80's Campagnolo Super Record for now. It will likely eventually get a Campagnolo Chorus/Record 10sp group. :D

Now for the photos:

Wow! Talk about a definite improvement!

Can I ask you how much you were charged?

Nothing wrong with a Serotta!!! Nice color.

Looking great cuda!! Keep the build pictures coming.

Parts list and pictures can be found in the Serotta thread that is linked in my signature.

Full super record, 7sp tubular wheels, silver cable housings, cinelli up front, aero levers, and Keo pedals just because they're on all my other bikes. ;)

Need to have the headset installed before I do too much building, but as soon as that's started, lots more photos to come.

Wow, that's very sweet lookin. Leaps and bounds beyond what it was before.

More photos :)

beautiful fluted Campagnolo Super Record seatpost, Selle Italia Flite saddle, the rear brake and of course the bottle cages. I have to pick up the front fork in a few days, so I'll hold off installing more parts till then.

Splendid!!!

That baby deserves a C-Record group w/Delta brakes. :D

Gorgeous!

Can't wait to see the final product.

I was happy to own any vintage Campy group. While C-Record would be great, I will be happy with the S.Record. I'm actually thinking of eventually moving all of the Super Record to my Gazelle and put a Campy 10sp group on this bike. The red would look great with a few carbon bits of the modern campy.

Looks great.

Looking very nice Cuda!

Nice selection of parts, the silver really accents the metallic red and silver decals well.

S-Record works too. :D

Modern bits? Sounds like a plan. Granted, my old Centurion is no Serotta, but I was more than willing to install a complete '06 Veloce group for the comfort of commuting. I absolutely love it, even though the dang thing weighs 28lbs with all the gear.

I've got a partial modern group now that's more or less hanging on the Gazelle.

06 Record Crank / BB, 06 Centaur brakes, 07 front derailleur w/ a 28.6 clamp conversion, and I'll be putting a 06 Record threaded headset on it instead of the S-Record that came on it. The original is still in good shape, but getting too good of a deal on the new one to pass it up. The original will go to a worthy bike of another member soon I'm sure.

The story behind the fork is kind of a funny one. Apparently the wife of another rider came by David's shop night before last to pick up a frame. A red frame, which didn't have a fork with it. She apparently thought my fork went with her husband's bike... so, David has to get my fork back. :lol: Oh well, had to go back down to his shop to have the headset installed anyways.

Cuda,

That paint is gorgeous. Congrats. The Lexus is nice too...just wish it was front wheel drive.

Wow, nice bike, nice car, and nice house! :beer:


:D

Very nice Cuda, keep the pictures coming as you complete the build

:crash: :crash: :crash: :crash:

LOL. Sorry but I'd actually have to drive that in the snow. It would also be nice if it took regular gas and was a hybrid but I digress...:D

Wish it was my car, and house for that matter! :lol: Guess I've got the bike, now time to start working towards the matching car. ;)

I do have a question about the Headset you're installing. It's Record threaded? I'm just curious, as it has the black in it. It looks great if you have some black bits to to go into the group. I opted for the Chorus headset because it is solid silver alloy. Either way, it's going to look gorgeous with that red. I honestly can't wait to see the finished build. This is going to be sweet. I'm already keeping close tabs on this thread.

Have you already got a set of wheels/bars/stem, etc in mind?

For some reason, I keep thinking a custom built, yet more classic silver wheelset with alloy bits will make that bike explode with class.

Heck, I can't wait to see which bar tape you choose to finish it off. :D

Patriot:

Yeah, it's the new Record with a little black in it. I have the same one on my Gazelle now, and I'm picking this one up locally from a BF's member.
