Who built your custom frame?

[rebeccaC]

I love my Seven ti/carbon and how it fits and rides. For an all titanium bike they use Cirrus (ultra butted), Argen (double butted) or Integrity (straight gauge) titanium. Their prices per model and kit are on their website. I got a lower price from my dealer so there is room for dealers to do that. You probably need to talk to them or one of their dealers about just frame prices. If you’re using a good dealer you should be able to adjust the Seven kit to include different parts like headset, wheels, bars etc. for personal preference. Since Seven uses straight gauge ti, double butted ti, ultra butted ti and ti/carbon combinations they can dial in exactly how you want your bike to ride and respond. They are also very good at interviewing you at length to find out numerous preferences for how you want your bike to ride and how you ride. That process can really help in guiding you into an excellent fit. That kind of good communication is something you should be looking for in whomever you choose. Unless you live close enough to whatever builder you pick to have them measure you and put you on a bike fit machine so you can feel and give feed back to the geometry they suggest you need to have a good dealer or private fitter that does that.

Seven does steel but personally I’d go with Bill Davidson in Seattle for custom steel that can be done with many options including different steel tube sets. Both of them, as I would suspect of all custom builders, do SS couplers and cable separators.

Hoping you enjoy the process of getting a custom and then riding a great bike that fits and rides exactly like you want!!!!!
