FS: New old stock 55cm Serotta Colorado III frame and fork
I recently purchased this built up but never ridden 2001 Serotta Colorado
III from a Serotta bike shop that was closing out their older model Serotta frames. This is an absolutely gorgeous frameset! The Serotta paint looks wet and the welds are some of the best I have ever seen. This is a wonderful testament to the quality workmanship and aesthetic beauty Serotta puts into their hand-built frames. This near-new 2001 model Serotta Colorado III frame measures 55cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the seat tube with a 55cm top tube. It is finished in the classic Serotta competition red to competition yellow fade paint scheme with yellow decals on the red down tube and seat tube. There is a matching yellow 1" threaded carbon fiber fork. This bike will turn heads wherever you go.it is stunningly beautiful! The Colorado III uses Serotta's signature C4S steel tube set, which makes it feel lighter and more responsive than bikes that actually weigh less. C45 Colorado 4th Dimension steel tubing is the most sophisticated steel tune set made. All tubes are proprietary Serotta size-specific Colorado Concept. Main tubes have tapered triple short butts for maximum mechanical advantage, minimal weight, optimum rigidity, and compliance. Seat stays are double-tapered for maximum strength, beauty, and traction control. This Serotta Colorado III has Serotta's exclusive 3D XL dropouts and the legendary Serotta Power "S" bend chain stays. This Serotta has the new Serotta Head On cable guides, which are light and easy to adjust. Large sculpted pockets on the barrel adjusters give you a better grip, making for easy "on the fly" shifting adjustments if necessary. There are two sets of water bottle bosses, a pump peg, the rear brake cable is routed at 7 o'clock on the top tube, and it takes a clamp-on front derailleur. The head tube 15mm extended top of the head tube for better fit and adjustability and the rear dropout spacing is 130mm. The fork has a few places on the fork crown where the paint was scratched off when the fork crown was removed. The Serotta bike shop where I bought the frame looked it over and indicated the scratches are cosmetic in nature, not structurally significant. The price on the 2001 model frame and fork was $1,495, and that didn't include a fork. You can buy this near-new one for only $825, and that includes the matching carbon fiber fork and professional packing, shipping, and insurance to the lower 48 United States. Pictures available on request. Thanks, Frank in McAlester |
