2011 Serotta Legend SE 60cm titanium carbon
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a custom Serotta Legend SE on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The bicycle was ordered and purchased new at Fitwerx2 in Peabody, Massachusetts in February 2011. The bicycle was used for recreational and enthusiastic riding in 2011. The road computer shows about 660 miles. It has been in storage indoors for most of 2012. The bicycle has never been crashed. The owner is selling the bicycle because his shoulder will soon require surgery and after that surgery, he cannot risk a fall from a bike. The frame set features triple butted titanium tubes, titanium drop outs, Serotta Composites F3 carbon front fork (8.5 stiffness), Serotta Composites Carbon wishbone seat stays, ovalised down tube, external cup Chris King NoThreadSet, carbon band front derailleur hanger and brazed-on cable stops. The bicycle features Shimano Ultegra 6700 “Duotone Silver” group set, 3T Ergonova alloy handlebars with extra padded handlebar tape, 3T ARX-Pro alloy stem, Mavic Ksyrium Elite clincher wheel set with Continental Grand Prix Four Season tires, Thomson Elite alloy seat post, Specialized Romin seat, CateEyeV2C wireless road computer, Serotta seat post clamp, nude titanium finish and Serotta provenance. The bicycle as shown weighs 17 pounds 14 ounces (8.1 kg). The serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket reads LS XI 548. The serial number on the front fork reads C LS X100548. The owner is 6’ 4” with an inseam of 34 inches. Stand over is 85.1 cm. Park Tool frame pump included. Pedals not included. There are 140 detailed images of the bicycle at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look.
Review of condition
The bicycle is in very good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. The shifting is precise and complete in all twenty gears. The brakes activate easily and grip well. There is 5 mm of pad remaining on the wear indicators. The cable housing and cables are fresh. The wheels are true and round and they spin freely and smoothly. There are no dents or cracks in the rim or the wall of the wheels. The spokes are straight and tight. There is no corrosion on the spokes. The hub flanges are not cracked. The tire treads are fresh and the tires hold pressure. There are no dents, bends or bulges that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame. There is no road wear on the bottom of the down tube, the back of the seat tube or on the inside surfaces of the chain stays. The rear triangle is in alignment with centerline of the frame. The rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. The front derailleur hanger band is not cracked or damaged and it is secured firmly to the seat tube. There is no discoloration, bulging, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the front fork or the seat stays. The steer tube does not show any cracks or bulges. The crown race is secured firmly. The head set is complete and the cartridge bearings turn smoothly. There is no play in the bottom bracket. There is no corrosion in the bolts on the expander bolt, the seat post or in the water bottle cage bolt holes. The cable stops are not damaged or blocked. The handlebars are not bent and the bar tape is fresh. The chain does not read 0.75 or 1.0 on the chain wear tool. The Cateye road computer works properly. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 1 mm x 30 mm scratch on the underside of the front fork crown from road wear. The braking surfaces of the rims show wear. The chain ring teeth show wear. The rear wheel shows variance of less than 1 mm in the truing stand.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Serotta Legend SE will make an excellent choice for the large and powerful cyclist who appreciates the smoothness of Serotta titanium carbon hybrid frame sets, the versatility of Shimano Ultegra 10 speed compact gearing and the performance of Mavic Kysrium wheels. The bicycle shows immaterial signs of wear and is effectively a new bicycle with many years of riding remaining in its titanium and carbon tubes. The nude titanium and Duotone Silver finish on the Ultegra components give this bicycle a distinctive metallic voice that speaks quietly but firmly of its strength and durability as well as its artisan heritage in the foundries of Serotta Bicycles. The new owner will agree that the bike does not need any lettering. It speaks for itself. A rare and excellent opportunity to obtain a truly one of a kind bicycle.
