Date Reviewed: June 26, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | poop out hill | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | this frame is true craftmanship at its best! the attention to detail is impressive. i really like the forgiving quality of titanium, the single pass welds of serotta, and the frame sizing system which serotta has to offer. | | Weaknesses: | i've noticed that the seat/chainstays tend to flex when i climb short steep hills out of the saddle with considerable torque, i notice because the skewer isnt strong enough to hold the wheel in place and as a result the tire will rub the chainstay. | | Bike Setup: | full xtr, sid sl,crossmax. 15.5 frame. weight = 21.25 lbs | | Bottom Line: | if you want a bike with true quality and craftmanship and dont mind experimenting with various rear skewers in order to overcome the seat/chainstays flexiness then get a serotta because its definetely a bike you will keep till your in the nursing home. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Not the lightest ti frame around. | | Similar Products Used: |

This frame handles like a dream. Built with XTR and SIDS SL. The bike carves corners and climbs hills with 100% power to the back wheel. The build of the frame is outstanding with clean 1 pass welds. The drop outs are a piece of art. Serotta may not be known that well in MTBing but they have transferred their road bike skills to a perfect MTB frame. Happy customer | | Overall Rating: |
