Serotta? I've never even heard of it. Steel?? Is it a steel frame? One of the reasons I'm dying to swap my hybrid for road is because I'm sick of dragging that 34 lb. steel frame up hills!!! I start off the ride in front on the flat, but the first hill we hit, the group leaves me in the dust!!!

A lugged steel bike can weigh between 20-24 pounds. The frame alone can be around 7-10 pounds.

Serotta is a smaller bicycle company from NY. They started out making steel frames and they are known for custom frames. Now they make ti, carbon/ti and carbon.
Several years ago they developed the Fierte, which comes only in a stock frame. It has a relaxed geometry with a higher head tube and sloping tt. It is available in steel, and ti. The frame is lightweight, not sure the weight but I demoed it and it is not a heavy bike. I really liked the way the bike handled and fit. Like I said, my friend liked it too.

I just got a custom Ottrott and I absolutely love it. I have almost 700 miles on it and I'm still in awe of it.
When I was riding today there was a woman at a stop light on a Fierte. She was very happy with it.
Serotta also has a training school that Serotta fitters attend. My frame was fit so well I have no complaints or desire to change anything about it.
