I am looking forward to how it feels.

Does it bother you that I am matching all your bikes, like in a stalking kind of way (even the colors!)? Let me know what kind of TT bike you get so I can place my order.

Hey thanks Baracuda

Since I am new to Serottas is red the color to have for them?

My CLX has arrived.

And I lied. Just ordered new groupset for the new frame... so it's not really just a frame replacement of the dented C'dale. :p

Which groupset?

It is one of their signature colors. I had an 80's Nova custom painted a Lexus Matador Red Mica color before hanging a 2006 Campagnolo 10sp group on it. If I were going to get a second serotta, the Ti & Carbon would be the ideal compliment to the steelie.

I just agreed to buy a new frameset today as well. Putting about half down on it, paying off the rest after the new year before it gets shipped to me.

Ultegra SL minus the crank. PBK doesn't have it; and I think I'll go with R700 instead to save $100. The Ultegra SL/non-SL are almost the same price except for the cranks.

Quit fooling around here and get that bike together for Sunday!

Palomar is a very bad mountain. I'm not going to bring my new bike. :p

That reminds me, I have to call off the appt at my lbs tomorrow for transferring over my bike components. Since this is a new groupset, I'll just do it myself.

Speaking of PBK...
No white after Labor Day, right?

But the color will be different. :eek: Meaning the crank won't match. :eek: The OCP Gods will be angry. :eek: :eek:


BTW - the normal harangue about the sacrilege of hanging Shimano parts on an Italian frame is hanging in limbo, uncertain of what to do with itself. A classic Italian brand, but the CLX is made in Taiwan. This is so confusing. :(:D

I saw those too. They match my bike so well. But I don't like bottles that are completely opaque.

Yep. Hopefully because it's made in Taiwan and not Italy, the planets won't start aligning.

Just read the Colnago instructions/warranty manual. They are much more scary looking than C'dale's and mentions "how to extend the useful life of your frame" in almost every chapter. I guess I should've bought a Ti.

It's easier to clean if they're opaque. No need to spend too much effort. :D

Which frame?

Here's my completed 1986 Serotta Nova. Originally equipped with a Campagnolo Super Record group, it now sports a mix of Campagnolo Record (cranks), Chorus (bottom bracket & ergo shifters), Centaur (rest of group). Wheels are Daytona hubs laced to Open Pros. Cinelli stem & handlebars, the original piece of the original super record group remaining are the seat post and quick release levers.

some more photos in this thread: http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php...hlight=serotta
and in the Serotta link in my sig has some photos too.

Today's purchase is a NOS 2006 Fuji Team Issue WCS edition.

Cleaned up at the Terry sale, esp since it was 50% off even the sale prices.

Casualty list: Two EtxeOndo Jerseys, EO tights, EO booties and gloves, Gore Xenon wet weather jacket, two Craft base layers.

Some of them might go back, as I doubt it will be cold enough for the gloves and shoecovers. Some of the EO stuff is made for sub-freezing temps.

Picked up a new Arione. Ridden about 200 miles on it so far, seems nice...

VERY nice. Drool.

You'll be fine with carbon.

Forgot about craft
 

Damn, I forgot about the craft baselayers:mad: I didn't realize the EO stuff was so thick. I thought it would be great for fall. Sounds like you really cleaned up.

I dont remember any post that said you got a NEW BIKE!!!!! Pics NOW been a day already!!!!!!!:p:D

I took the frame out. Drooled on it a little. Then put it back in the box. Won't have all the parts at least until next Wednesday. Downside of my last minute change of decision to build it up as a 2nd bike instead of a replacement after I received the frame. :p

nothing worng with having multiple bikes, I have 4 of them. Would been 5 if I didn't give my Felt to my friend.

Thanks! I kind of feel bad. Worse is I still haven't test rode the bike... I hope it is closer to my aluminum C'dale than being too comfy like the Spec Roubaix (personal pref). :p

Heading to sleep now. See you on Sunday! :D

I like my black Assos knickers so much, that I had to pick up a pair in blue.. :D

And matching arm warmers

Also picked up a black iBike Pro power meter. Figured I'd give it a go before dropping more coin on an SRM, or Power Tap.. as I (at this point) am not really sure if it is worth the investment for me. Stay tuned :)
