HI!

I need some input before final decision!! I am very close to starting the whole Seven process (yeah!), but I am still undecided on ID8 vs. all Ti (Alaris or Axiom). I have read some threads here about comparing the two, but wanted to know more, if possible?!?

I have tested the Alaris. Rode it for 70+ mi over 3 days. Nice bike. Liked it. Thought it could be a bit stiffer and more responsive for my tastes, and was hoping for a bit more comfort. I know that the bike could be tuned to do these things (and obviously different components added), but don't know if it would be enough? Problem is, I do not have access to a demo ID8. Questions are...how much more comfortable can the ID8 be? More comfort over bumps? Or is it more comfort over long rides and in general? I know they can really tune it per my request, but is the difference in comfort (and it being a bit lighter) worth the extra expense? I have a lower back issue and would really need a comfortable ride, but don't want to sacrifice responsiveness if possible.

I guess if anyone had any more thoughts about the different bikes, all Ti or Ti/carbon mix, or more specific details about the ID8, I would greatly appreciate it!!

Thank you!!!!
