I find myself needing to replace my Felt carbon FC3 frame due to a dent in the chainstay. I never thought I could love anything more than my Felt, but I test rode a Seven ID8 and and Axiom SG and OH MY! I love them both and feel like I would be happy with either one.

I like that the ID8 feels a little more stable on the screaming downhills. OTOH, the Axiom has a lovely road feel.

Any thoughts on either of these models or, more generically, Ti vs. Ti plus carbon? The ID8 has carbon on the seat stays and seat post and (unlike my Felt), if something happens to the carbon, it can be fixed.

Decisions, decisions!
