Well regarded I think.

When I was looking for info there was an old BF (Edit: Paceline) post that mentioned he started out with Serotta.

fair enough, it was second/third and hand and I lost the link. So I went back to look and kept finding unverified info (feedback loop). Then I found good info - https://forums.thepaceline.net/archi.../t-291323.html

Quote is not about Stowe bikes, but does have Dave Kirk (longtime Serotta employee) confirming Rob Stowe working at Serotta

For some more unverified info - he also worked with Georgina Terry?

Yeah sort of: it's a genuine Motobecane "Prolight" which is basically a re-badged Vitus 979, here's a partial screengrab from the '84 US catalog
