1829.0. "Serotta coming to Worcester" by BOOKS::MULDOON (I'll be right back - Godot) Wed Jan 23 1991 13:15

    
           I stopped by the local shop this weekend and learned 
       that Ben Serotta is supposed to be making an appearance
       in Worcester (MA., USA) in May. He'll be at Fritz's on
       West Boylston St. (Rt. 12) to promote his frames. I don't
       recall the exact date, but I'm pretty sure it was the 
       first week of the month. I'll get details later today
       after the shop opens. I believe he's bringing bikes for 
       test rides with him.

1829.1	Serotta visit	USMRM5::MREID		`Fri Jan 25 1991 16:24`	15
	Ben was a guest speaker at a Minuteman Road Club (Frank's Spoke 'N Wheel) meeting a couple years back; it was GREAT! He talked in great detail about his frames and the history and manufacture of them; his talk included a slide show of his factory, and experiences w/ 7-11. Subsequent to his visit, MANY riders/racers in our club have purchased Serotta's (esp the Colorado). The information presented convinced a lot of us that his frames were of superior quality; test riding REALLY convinced us. If anyone is thinking about purchasing a pro bike in the future, then don't miss this opportunity to talk with Ben. Mark

	Yea, Serottas are nice bikes. I was talking to Giuseppe Marinoni a few months ago while in Montreal and he mentioned that Serotta was looking to improve on his frames. To do that, he was hoping to spend some time under the tutelage of Marinoni. I don't think that it ever happened but Marinoni still does some chroming for Serotta. Eric
1829.3	May 3rd	BOOKS::MULDOON	I'll be right back - Godot	`Mon Jan 28 1991 12:13`	19
	Ok, now the bad news... The date is May 3rd which turns out to be a Friday. I don't have the hours that he'll be there, but Fritz's is normally only open 'til 6:00 on Fridays. I guess you should probably call the shop for further details. (853-1799) If you've never seen one of Serotta's frames, one of my riding partners leaves his at the shop for display. It's the black and pink Nova on the roof rack display. (Ok, so Serotta calls it something other than pink, but whenever I see Jack I assure him that it's pink) 8^) Steve (who is slightly envious no matter what color it is)
