Re: Whatever happened to?………..the bike manufacturer edition [pdxjohn]
Serotta: Dead. Management mistakes. Went down the road of manufacturing its own carbon tubes, forks, and everything else that went into its frames. Capability of manipulating a frame's materials was incredible, as was the quality. It all came with an incredible price to match. After the housing bubble, Serotta found $8K frames a hard sell. Its titanium frames, which should have been the company's bread and butter, were a thousand dollars more than Moots, and that was a really bad position to be in.

Calfee: Still around. It makes really nice custom frames, but the design of the company's three models has changed little in fifteen or twenty years. Recently introduced a carbon soft-tail road bike. Craig seems to spend his efforts promoting bamboo bikes. Best carbon repair in the business.
