Serotta CHT - ti bike.

[Rambo Mambo]

Hi all,
So here’s a cheeky one.
I swore I wouldn’t buy anymore then I saw this. Like any titanium fanatic I buckled immediately and hit buy it now.
I’m not sure of the year so if someone could help me with that I’d appreciate it.
Suspected to be a more recent model as there is no rear canti stop but I’ve not mocked this up in the most conventional way.

I was no compromise on the use of the fork. I was going to use it by hook or crook.

However, I had to compromise on the brake set up. Rear brake is an early Paul Motolite, front is a Stoplight MC as I wanted to match the brake blocks front and rear. I’m not 100% on it but until I find a similar front it’ll do. Toying with the idea of a Crosstop.

It’s plenty light weighing a shade over 8kg as seen.

New decals from Gil as they were knackered.

Your comments and feedback welcome as ever.
Enjoy

I am no Serotta expert but reading their manuals and their back story from what I could find online I would put this frame to '00 or '01.

What gives it away is the rear drop outs design and the lack of rear cantilever routing.

A serial number and a quick question on Serotta FB forums could help verify my claim.

Yes - great idea! I’ll do that.
