I'm sure he can make it coordinate with red shoes.

Good timing... I'm mulling over a couple of quotes on a Seven vs. Habanero. I'd save a lot of $$ on a Habanero, but I like the way Sevens look. Terrible, isn't it?

If you want to spend a lot of bank, Independent Fabrication is another custom builder. The Crown Jewel is their flagship model.

I have a full-custom Ti Crown Jewel from IF and cannot imagine having a better bike. I have an amazing LBS & between him and the folks at IF, I got my bike dialed-in perfectly. When I get another bike, it will be an IF. You get what you pay for and every penny of my money was well spent, IMO.

Totally understand. I'm still in the dilemma, whether to settle for a cheaper bike or save more money and sign up for the Bianchi individual... But I did look at the Seven and totally love them, the axiom race is just beautiful!

hey there, I went out to get fitted for a custom Ti by Tom Kellogg this morning. Wow was he great. The process took about three hours and was unbelievably comprehensive. Tom Kellogg is a great combination of super nice and super knowledgeable. I can tell you more about my bike in a few months, but around here he is really known for producing comfortable, well fitted, durable bikes.

I'm still not sure if Habanero frames come in any other colors except "titanium". I'm guessing not. I like color, like a nice orange. I figure if I'm plunking down this much for a custom bike, I should just get what I want. Of course, you can't beat the minty Bianchi green.

Actually I think Habanero would paint your custom frame if you ask them to. Bianchi definitely does it if you want, although the S9 originally comes in plain titanium - and I like the color of natural titanium. The colors available from Bianchi are at:

Hope this helps. I'm still undecided...

I've always lusted after Seven frames - not sure what it is but damn they are sexy! I'm close enough to them to go knock on their door

My shop does custom Serrottas but I haven't heard anything (good or bad).

As soon as I can save my pennies I'm going custom Ti. so many choices......

True, the plain titanium isn't bad. Wow, that's a deep pink they've got there! Yowza.

I have a Serotta Ottrott, Custom ti/carbon, and I love it. No drooling over any other brand of bike for me.

If you check out the Serotta Forum you'll find many posters who love their Serotta Legend (ti).

Serotta also tunes their tubes to the size and weight of the rider. Looking at the Haberno website it's not obvious if this is the case.
