I’ll take heat for the mess, I’m sure. Here is my new bike. But I’m sure you’ll enjoy the basement more, lol
Serotta Custom Steel Frame CXII with carbon Stays - designed by Getagrip in Chicago
Ritchey Carbon Fork
Gold King Headset
Hed Alps with yellow Continental Tires
Shinamo Black 105 Group Set
Profile Design carbon Corba base bar and carbon Stryke aerobars
ISM Adamo Saddle
Aero Seat post - blade I think
sweet.
Did you build it up yourself?

Pretty bike. Serotta’s are obviously very nice bikes and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Looks like a road bike and tri clothing though, I’d probably have left it a road bike and build a tri-specific bike that’s steeper, more aero, has a better aero-bar, and aero wheels…but that’s me. Ultimately it’s you and if the bike goes both ways well then I guess that’s why they call it a bicycle.

The CXII is Serotta’s Tri Frame…I had a relatively small budget to work with (Bike wise) and think I did pretty well as far as bang for the buck…

The CXII is a steep tri specific bike. Hes got the fairly short nosed Adamo and it’s fairly close to over the bb.
Beautiful bike.
I hear ya’! I think you did a great job on the bike. It will be a good all arounder. I’m not that familiar with Serotta’s line but I recall seing a CX type bike with more aero tubes–especially the seat tube…not sure what it was.
since you probably custom built it, I’m not sure what the geometry is but it looks about 75 degrees or so…
Anyways, it it fits and you like it, that’s all that really matters! My 2 cents are only worth 2 cents (or less).

Very nice.
I’ve got an orange CXII. Had it for a little over a year now. Love it.
Sweet. I like Serottas. You are going to lose your Allen wrenches when some one kicks them under the comfy chair. You may find them when looking for lose change.
running2far,
That is not a Serotta CXII! It is a Serotta CXIIcs. Get it right from now on. The ‘cs’ is for the carbon seat stays.
Oh, by the way I have owned a Serotta CXIIcs for four years now. I love it! Its really fast and a great ride as well.

That’s really cute. “I didn’t have all that much money, so I got a Serotta…”
What the hell have we come to?
He said “relatively”. I take that to mean “relative to the guy down the street with the $16K BMC TT01, I have a small budget to work with”
Yeah - I wanted a nice frame and went cheaper on the some of the other things…105 vs dura ace. HED ALPS (great deal on ebay new) vs. Zipp etc etc.
Nice bike, but your running form is terrible.
