I guess the best way to describe the difference is the ti bike feels a bit stiffer. It's not a negative, just different. The bike is incredibly light, which means fast. It's also very responsive. The fork is a Seven carbon, so that probably factors into the smoothness of the ride.

Re the gruppo: 105 cannot compare to Campy Chorus. The shifting isn't as smooth or easy. People are right: Campy gets better over time. My Seven has a triple, which is a waste since I don't use the puppy gears. My 'cross bike has the Chorus gruppo with the compact crank and that is my "dream" set up. I definitely will upgrade Agnes to Campy Chorus, when the 105 needs to be replaced.

Interestingly, the handlebar on the Seven (Salsa short 'n shallow) is wider than the ITM Elle handlebars on my Lunas. I noticed that my bum left shoulder didn't bother me at all when riding the Seven, despite being in a slightly more aggressive position on the Seven than I am on the Lunas.

My other rides are a Luna Eclipse (steel frame w/carbon fork); Luna Orbit (steel frame w/custom steel fork); Bianchi Eros Donna (steel frame w/carbon fork); and Specialized Dolce Comp (aluminum frame w/carbon fork--this is the rain/bad weather "beater" bike). I have a Dolce Elite, but it's been relegated to trainer duty since I sold my Terry.

Sorry, ladies, I can't post photos because I don't have a scanner! It's light blue.
