What's going on with the seat tube? Is it carbon?

Built up pics!!
It's as yummy as licorice!
Yup, the ID8 has carbon seat tube and seat stays. The rest is double butted ti.
I put Easton EC70 Wing handlebars on it. I had these on the Axiom and I quite like them. The seatpost is a bit of an experiment (
) - an Easton EC90 - all carbon, even the seat clamp. The clamp is very flexy, so I don't know how it's going to be for seated climbs or hard riding.
Here are some pics. It's very different looking vs. both my Axiom and DH's ID8. I took it for a ride around the 'hood. Very stiff - much stiffer than the Axiom, and I think some of the front end vibration I feel vs. the Axiom is due to the wheels - Mavic Ksyrium SSC-SL's. It's also got an very upright ride. And, even tho' it looks like a tiny bike, it feels very big. So...the response to it, after about 2 miles is..."Hmmmmm" It will be interesting to take it out for a long ride.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

I hope the "hmmmm" turns into "all right!" soon. It definitely looks different than your other Seven. Very, very cool to have a bike made just for you. Congratulations!

Now that is a fine looking bike!
(Ahem, not just because it looks a little like mine! )
Regina I have those same wheels and they are stiff - but I am quite a bit heavier than you are. I'm not sure what kind of difference weight really makes, but I sure do like those wheels (except in a strong cross-wind!).
I'm interested to hear you thoughts on the bike after a couple of longer rides...
Oh, but those Sevens are easy on the eyes!
Keep calm and carry on...

Oooh, it's gorgeous! Hope you enjoy it once you are used to it. It looks like a very upright position. You could always flip the stem and/or remove some spacers to lower the handlebars if it bothers you...
