BOTW – Serotta CSI

Andrew’s twin brother Todd is the inspiration behind this week’s Bike Of The Week. Todd and Andrew started racing bicycles in high school in Texas. Todd coveted a Serotta from the day he first saw one, but he knew it was a purchase he probably couldn’t afford (especially since college was right around the corner) . But it turns out he earned a full ROTC scholarship, paving the way for putting together his dream bike – the legendary Serotta CSI. The Brothers Crooks even made their way to Serotta (in beautiful South Glens Falls, NY at the time) to visit the bike as it was being assembled and painted. The bike sports custom geometry, an austere red/champagne/blue paint scheme, is beautifully lugged, and is tough enough to handle the thousands and thousands of miles of riding and racing that Todd put in on it in the past 15 years.

And wouldn’t you know it – after all these years, Todd has managed to resist the siren call of fancy frame materials – the CSI is still his primary ride!!!
