Serotta

Serotta

Serotta is an American bicycle manufacturer located in Saratoga Springs, New York. Named for founder Ben Serotta, the company has been making custom road and competition bicycles since the 1970s.

Serotta is known for high quality bicycle frames. They offer stock sizes similar to any other manufacturer, but have added the option of a completely custom fit. [cite news |title=It's a bicycle built for you |url=http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2005-03-22-bike-serotta_x.htm |work=USA Today |date=March 22 2005 |accessdate=2008-09-28 ] The buyer selects different tube sizes and profiles to allow for an optimal fit and ride quality in line with individual preference.

Serotta built frames for the Crest and 7-Eleven pro cycling teams, although the Team 7-Eleven bikes were branded as Murray and later Huffy bikes. Murray- and Huffy-branded Serottas are highly sought after by classic bike enthusiasts. Serotta also built bikes for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

In addition to building custom bicycle frames, Serotta is well known for their bicycle fitting system.
