Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Serottas are good ****. Hadn't heard of that one before, but a light Google search indicates that there were very few ever made. Sounds like you might have a little gem on your hands.

Check out the Paceline for more than just seau grateau's links - I can't remember which sub-forum/s but I do remember running across more than just two threads about Big Digs there when I got interested in them some time back.

Oh yeah - look at your trackends to see if they are stamped "Sub11"

Look forward to seeing pics....
