    I just ordered a Seven!!!

    I did it.
    After I returned the Madone to the shop, I set up an appointment for this afternoon with Mike to order up and ID8!!!!
    BikerZ - it's all your fault!!!
    We were back at the shop at 3:30, and Mike went over Seven's fit kit with me and took all the measurements - off me and off my Axiom - and went over all their questions (handling, stiffness, vertical compliance, use, etc).
    I'm looking for something with a little stiffer drivetrain than my Axiom - something a little quicker off the dime - yet with that buttery smooth road manners that the bike currently has.
    I did find out that my left arm is shorter than my right. Go figure. I wonder how you address that when building a bike??
    Most of the drivetrain will come off my Axiom - FSA compact crankset and full DuraAce. I may opt for new wheels, but I told Mike I'll need to ride a few first. Mike knows I refuse to put Bontrager on my Seven, so other components are up in the air (seapost, stem).
    Since I'm not painting it (yet) and going with black decals and a black headset, it will probably look like something very close to this....
