Joycily - I'm with you - am the proud new owner of a Seven Elium.
Custom ti/carbon frame and I didn't really name previous bikes, but this one is Joy - as in joy ride - all the way! Can't stop grinning when I'm on it - such a sweeeeeeet ride! I have a Bianchi Volpe, that I've used as my commuter and a custom Rodriguez (steel) that has provided me with thousands and thousands of miles of safe rides but I've been saving up and pining for a titanium/carbon frame for a while now. Did tons of research online about various options and lots of test rides before working with a local Seven dealer. He has 20 yrs experience in a couple of lbs' and is a top rider himself. He's a sole proprietor now specializing in bike fits as well as a longtime Seven dealer. So, now I've got my dream bike and am looking forward to my rides even more than usual!
Tailwinds!
