1994 Serotta Colorado ATi - and a Lot of DIY Anodizing

[MuchAlohaNui]

Don´t buy too much or you may have to explain to cops.

…so you know how to dispose of a dead body?

Small update:

Back in Europe after a few weeks in the USA. I came back with parts that I had bought from various places like ebay and private sellers who are state side and had everything mailed to my families house.

Original SRP brakes with the original Ritchey pads
Grafton cranks
Ultimate Machine bb
Unknown Ti inner chain ring
Kooka brake levers
Nosler rear hub, 32h

I’ll weigh the parts tomorrow and update this thread. Still trying to sort out lightweight pedals and still trying to find rims. Just about ready overall to start aluminum anodization and a bit of assembly.

Nice haul Brandon! The Titanium inner chainring is Action-Tec.

For pedals....how about WTB Stealth. They appear now and again as NOS but there was a run off them with sketchy resin bodies and they can fracture so buyer beware. Some sort of age hardening i guess.
I have some that have aged fine and,personally, i think they are a damn good pedal. Very simple, yet effective, and work with a variety of spd cleats. Very light, too.

Thanks man. I got it pretty cheap because the seller had no clue (and me too) as to what brand the chain ring was/is. Glad it worked out in my favor. Now I just need the other two

Those are sweet. A bit modern for this build, but considerations welcome. Any recommendations for an early/mid 90's pedal (clipless or platform)?

New parts and new weights added. Now there are enough parts options floating around here to make "light" build decisions! Other listed parts I have on-hand and are mentioned throughout this thread.

I think the lightest in that period is the ti axled Specialized spd pedal. About 300gr/pair, i think. Everything else was around 350 with steel axles. There must be ti axled variants, out there. I thought the Stealth was mid 90's but seems to only just creep in, at the last.

Edit: there was a titanium axle available for the Shimano m737. That is early-mid 90's pedal. Maybe the first spd?

The Road version of the Titanium Grafton pedals, the Speedlite, is smaller in size and very light; just 262 grams for the pair according to BikePro.

The lightest pedals I know with a retro look are the Steinbach pdals @ 190g/pair. Not sure though if they are still being made or where to get them otherwise.
