where did all these SEROTTAS come from???
over the past month in my rides through d.c. and northern
virginia, i've noticed a HUGE increase over last year's serotta population. from my youthful days, i remember when serottas were a kind of bike geek guilty pleasure, and now seems like there are almost as many of them out there as there are treks! have they recently pushed into the massier end of mass production, or is this just a case of washington politico monkey-see-monkey-do after john kerry was photographed on a serotta? |

Serotta has been building bikes for 30 years. They have a long life, and their riders are quite active. Perhaps after seeing John Kerry on one, you started recognizing them and hence observed more. There are lots of Serottas out there. Their forum is very active: http://www.serotta.com/forum/ |

If you read the original post you'll see that he's known about Serottas for
some time so I'm sure he would have recognized them last year. Given where he rides I'm going to assume that his guess isn't that off the mark--although I think it's more donkey-see-donkey-do. What does Bush ride (when he's not busy falling off it)? I'd bet that lots of junior Republicans are doing a similar elephant-see-elephant-do thing. What next, Paul Begala and James Carville going head to head against Tucker Carlson and Bob Novak down Pennsylvania Avenue? (Although Edwards vs. Cheney would be a sight to see.) -- Kovie zen "Dave Thompson" wrote in message ... "H.

Serotta builds about 3000 frames a year, so there's been no huge increase in the Serotta population of late. In the last several years there has been much more awareness of the brand as a premium maker, and the Serotta forum is widely read as a source of good information about things bike. |

Serottas are a premium luxury product. The increased number on the road indicate that a lot of cyclists have recently been able to upgrade to their dream bike. I blame the Bush tax cut.
