Serotta is a custom frame bike, not that well known in the triathlon World, but well known in the road bike community.  Each frame is custom built for your fit at their facility in Saratoga Springs, NY.  The guys at GAG fit me for the bike.  I fit the Cervelo alright, but for a little more money the Serotta would fit perfect.  I won't disagree, after riding JV's Cervelo for a couple months with my fit and getting on this bike, it was a big difference.  I have to thank Geoff, his attention to detail in assembling the bike was magnificent.  I'm looking forward to putting it into action.
