Bump with some pictures and a some more information:
The Atlanta was Serotta's second tier frameset from the mid to late 90s. I think this frame is from around 1997 but its hard to be exact as the Serotta serial numbers are not date specific (they are just sequential). For info the serial number on mine AS 56 866 (Atlanta, size 56, 866th produced).
The tubes are the Reynolds Colorado Concept tubing which were propriety to Serotta. The down tube is swaged which means it gets larger towards the bottom bracket for extra stiffness.
The paint is a pearlescent white which is quite hard to capture with my limited photography skills. You can certainly tell that the frame has been used - there are a number of marks and scratches (some of which have been touched up by a previous owner). It is coming up on 20 years old though so its not doing badly. Its all straight and true - the only damage of note is the dent on the top tube mentioned above.
I used this as my Sunday best and race bike whilst I had it. It's a combines a remarkable combination of stiffness and comfort - in fact I think it's probably much more comfortable than the Canyon I am replacing it with.

Afraid the rest of the parts are now on my Canyon.

My Serotta is up for sale - I have absolutely loved this frame but I just don't have room (or budget) for it at the moment as I've just taken delivery a shiny new canyon frame. It comes with a time carbon fork and cane creek headset.
I was looking to get back what I paid for it (£420) but infuriatingly I dented the top tube last week. Although very annoying it looks to be just cosmetic. Revised price of £380 or £400 w/ ultegra BB and 3T 110 -17 stem.
I can take a few more pics if need be - give me a shout.

After my circa 3000km vredesteins literally came apart at the seams I have replaced them with a set of Maxxis Re-fuse. Initial impressions good but only ridden them in the dry. Anyone have experience of them in the wet?
@Dammit - noticed you have a pair on your time machine. How do you rate them?
-
Price drop £105. I'll through in the BB for free.
-
I was looking to get back what I paid for it (£420) before this morning. Infuriatingly I dented the top tube this morning locking it up - I couldn't quite believe it when I did it. It looks to be cosmetic - about the size of a 5 pence.
No idea what its worth now...

56 square (ignore the red box - not my image)
-
yep - 56 x 56 ctc

Looks like this frame might become available in the coming weeks. I've loved it and suspect I might regret selling it but I've been offered a brand new Canyon CF SLX for a song. Given that most of my riding at the moment is either racing or training for racing it is too good an offer to turn down.
-
I really like your dog. Looks very regal
-
Anyone racing at Crystal Palace tonight?
-
Given the Flos popularity I can't figure out why they wouldn't chuck a bit more money at the manufacturers and have a ready supply.
If they can sell out in sub-10 minutes for each order its hardly like they have a lack of demand.
-
Saw this in the flesh (metal) this morning. I like how the pink pin-striping harps back to your integral di2 wires of the older Dalsnibba.
First time I've seen the flos in person as well. Much wide.... very want.
-
165mm Modern Record Cranks with 48t gipiemme chainring. Good condition, minor heel rub but only visible from certain angles.
£125 for the cranks/chainring
I also have a Campagnolo bottom bracket (as seen in the pics). Will post the details after I've had a look tonight.
-
I'm going for the next order tomorrow - a set of flo 30s.
Anything I should be aware of to make sure I get my order in?
-
Whilst I've been impressed with the all round performance of the vredestein fortezza senso xtremes on my Croix this is somewhat worrying....
-
Initial impressions are good - I found the steel forks a bit harsh and this seems to have smoothed out that feeling a bit.
Heavy bike is still heavy.
-
Carbon for the iron cross
-
Herne Hill?
-
^ too slow
-
Depending on the angle you can adjust the pull angle of the cable.
-
Look forward to seeing it rebuilt
