Hermit, Sevens are gorgeous bikes. My husband has a steel/carbon Elium that he is absolutely thrilled with but remember that the thrill wou;dn't be there without a perfect fit. From feedback from Seven owners and dealers, the fit is best accomplished by a pro fitter who feeds the numbers to Seven but doesn't take Seven's returned numbers as gospel as they tend to set up a bike for a long and low position no matter what. This may be what you like but only you and your fitter know this and your fitter can actually see you in the position.

Also, it may be worth looking at Serotta. They are a direct competitor of Seven and been in the business far longer. You can get stock or custom. I'm just mentioning this because our LBS which sells a ton of Sevens is considering them. Seven has had a huge turnover of staff in the last year and has its challenges. We experienced it ourselves even a year ago. Bubba still ended up with a gorgeous bike but no where near the timeline promised and the position perfect due to the fitter not Seven.

Bottom line is that I think you'd enjoy either bike, just do your research.
