Price Paid:  $1690.00 at Serotta Garage

Model Year:
2005

Favorite Ride:
RAIN

Bike Setup:
Ultegra, Velocity Aerohead/Deep V, Ultegra pedals, Aliante saddle.

Summary:
I wanted a bare titanium bike so that I would not have to worry about scratched/chip paint but also keep the great ride and feel of my steel Serotta Fierte. I hit the jackpot as I found a lightly used demo ST SE Legend with an F-3 fork for $1,690 in the Serotta Garage. What a bargain and luckily in my size. Factory warranty and eligible for crash protection. Thanks Ben Serotta.

Strengths:
Serotta tradition, design, quality, and warranty. Great, smooth ride for us recreational cyclists logging thousands of miles per year with an occasional endurance ride. Bare titanium longevity and no worry about scratched/chipped paint.

Weaknesses:
DS dropout cracked but this could happen to any frame. Serotta warranty and service to get my frame back in less
than 3 weeks for my big ride of the
summer - outstanding.

Summary:
Love it. Just love titanium. Finish is always beautiful. No paint on mine. Great ride. Good handling.

Strengths:
Titanium, beautiful dropouts in rear, great welds. Reasonably stiff.

Weaknesses:
When I'm on it, I'm a 44 year old guy riding a Serotta. But I'm faster than half the youngsters. And better than riding around in Porche.

Favorite Ride:
around Lake WA

Bike Setup:
Dura Ace triple w/10 speed casette, TI frame with carbon fork, seat stays & post, Mavic Krysium wheels, Vittoria tires, Deda bar, fizak seat

Summary:
I wanted more comfortable ride to go longer and got it with the Serotta Legend Ti. She rides great and I no longer get lower back stiffness due to the custom fitted frame and ti frame material.

Strengths:
smooth, comfortable ride. handles great and climbs like a mt. goat. paint job is stunning

Weaknesses:
little bit heavy (17 lbs.) but I traded a little extra weight for comfort by selecting a Ti frame. No regrets though
