Serotta HSG Carbon 2009 £4180.20
The American maker Serotta has brought out its latest offering pitched at high performance racing. It is beautiful made and is full HSG carbon frame giving a weight of 7.2Kg for our setup. Overall the frame looks very slender but it has been reinforced in the key areas of the head tube and bottom brackets using titanium.
The frames tubes seem solid to the touch and this feeling continues our on the road. It is not the stiffest that we have ever test but this is not necessarily a bad thing as it does still solid and responsive enough when accelerating hard or on climbs. It absorbed the bumps of the rough road and gave an overall smooth ride.
Overall this is a great frame but it comes at a high price.
