*fans self* That is simply gorgeous! My MIL has a Seven, but hers is butt ugly, because she is very tall and likes to sit REALLY upright, so it has a super tall head-tube and just looks super awkward...like a Frankenbike, heh. If you ever see photos of Conan O'Brien's Seven you have a good idea of what my MIL's bike looks like.

Gorgeous bike! I love the orange.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Very nice. I like the orange details.
I also like how the new Seven forks have the decal on the front. They got a little heavy-handed with the decals there for a while.
Speaking of....do you even have a decal on the downtube? Is it a subtle one or none at all?
I read on Seven's custom kit that they can do internally routed cables for Di2 (saw your other posts) for an upcharge. Otherwise, the standard is external routing.
Congrats on the new ride - and wishing you many many happy miles.
BTW..."zooming" off topic...Zoom-Zoom - you got me curious, so I Googled "Conan O'Brien's bike" - and got this. He's actually on a Serotta. An equally drool-worthy bike, but yeah, it does look freaky.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Somewhere I swear there was a story about him having a Seven, but I can't recall where I saw it. It was probably 2-3 years ago. It looked just as whacko as that Serotta.

Ahh...you know what, I blame that blog. They actually refer to the bike in that photo as a Seven. I don't think I looked close enough at the badging to notice their error.

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Those hubs are beautiful - of course the entire bike is! May you have many miles and smiles...
Darn you, I am now remembering what it is like to have a new bike...(step away from the computer...
Seriously, I hope you've solved your fit problems and looking forward to your ride reports on her!
