Oh, you're getting a Seven? Gosh, who knew?
It sounds gorgeous! And a pewter headset - yum. Personally I love that blue KK headset, but I'm too cheap to change.
What will its first ride be?

Oh...meant to ask...
what color is the trim on the fork?
If you got the red - def. go w/ the red bars - assuming you can match the red on the fork. Cuz, you know, you gotta coordinate the parts!
Black, however, goes with everything.
Oh...and no decals? Not even on the downtube?
How very stealth.

Cant wait to see to see yours in person.
I promise not to drool on it.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Thanks everyone - it will be so cool!
Regina - good question on the fork accent color - I have no idea! Uh oh. What if the fork is blue, and the cassette is red! Ack!
In any case, the red of the cassette is a little too red for my taste, so I am looking for a dark red bar tape, but having trouble - everything looks so bright red to me. Anyone have any sources for a darker red tape?
(actually, the red on the "Z" in my avatar would be perfect...)
Maybe I'll switch to the cassette with the black center if the fork is blue. Hmmm. I'm going to the LBS tomorrow to see the frame before it gets build up - I'll check out the tape options then!Last edited by bikerz; 05-16-2007 at 06:09 PM.
