I would look elsewhere rather than a Serotta dealer of any type.
Put the biggest percentage of the $ in the frame, not the components
and certainly not those wheels. Seen lots of those wheels break
spokes. Also a carbon but end does absolutely nothing. Look at
Waterford for a truely well made steel frame w/o the hype.
