I've been waiting since mid-April for my Serotta Ottrott. After all the missed delivery dates she came in yesterday and I picked her up today.
When I walked in the shop there she was, on display, waiting for me to take her home. I just wanted to admire her, I think I would have stood there all day looking at her if the guys hadn't encouraged me to go for a ride.
I'm not sure if its the fit (custom), steering or the materials (ti/carbon) but the ride is out of this world. She weighs 15.4 lbs, without the water bottle hangers, and almost pedals herself.
I originally thought the tt would be sloping but Serotta was able to build it with just a slight slope. The head tube is built up high but it doesn't look awkward like my Aegis with the spacers and steep stem. The height of the handlebars can be adjusted without changing the stem.
I had her built for 650c wheels so she's perfectly proportioned.
She's too pretty to ride or get dirty! Her color is slate, a dark grey, and greyish pink.
This is the first bike I've ever had that really fit me and she just feels so natural, she just disappears underneath me.
Sorry, I wish I could show pix but my camera needed to be repaired and it is due to be delivered from Canon on Monday. As soon as it gets here I promise to post some.
