I'm not sure huge fan of Serotta but this one is perfect.

How do you like Schwalbe One compared to Conti? I think I can give Schwalbe a try a I'm bored o the dull Conti feel.

Not a dentist....even worse...a lawyer! ;-)

Seriously tho, amazing ride and great kit choices too. Probably my favourite bike seen on here in quite a while.

Wow! Now that is a proper build on a fine looking frame. Straight lines. Not much slope. Proportions are perfect. Nice. A dentist could never do that :).
Wonder if you could get a different colored SRM SR11 decal for the crank? Kinda like P2max had all these different color schemes. If you get more blue in that area, everything would be tied in perfectly. This is my favorite Serotta.

I love it!
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

What a nice bike!!!!

Just love the look.

That is the FIRST and ONLY Serotta i have seen with an integrated headset.

They (Serotta) wrote on their homepage that they never would build a frame with an integrated headset. How did the shop/you manage to get Serotta build you a frame with one?

Ciao

Late in the production run, when things were closing at Serotta, one of the first portions closed was the composites factory in CA. The Enve tapered fork was picked since the S5 fork was NLA, and the Inset was used. The look is cleaner IMO.

@asdf123 limited amount of time on the Schwalbe 24mm, but I have experience with the HTs, they were great.

@Calnago, my thoughts exactly, maybe the next time I need a battery service on the SRM, I'll try and get something that matches the look of the Pronto color scheme a bit better.

@ultyguy, not a lawyer either, I'm a bigger rider, and generally tough on frames, got fed up of paying a decent sum of money for a frame to just get warranty replaced every two years, so I figured for the same amount I could get a Ti bike, built for racing, in a paint scheme I wanted (way too much red/black/white schemes nowadays imho)...

I dont consider that an integrated headset and neither do CK. The bottom cup is external and the top cup is zero stack.
