    Strengths:    The lightness and the quickness. I feel like I can dance on the pedals even going up 8 percent grades. The quickness makes me concentrate on what is ahead and around me, if not, I too will be road kill.

    Weaknesses:    I am still searching for a weakness and I forward it to you when I find it.

    Bottom Line:   
    I am 50 years of age and I have always wanted a "go-faster-bike" and Spokes Etc. gave me choices and I chose Seven because of its durability-Ti. Everything is carbon, Ti, and of course rubber (tires or as the English spelled it-tyres.)

    Similar Products Used:   There are no similar products when it comes to Ti. Seven is true craftmanship.

    Bike Setup:   I have 3x10 Record Campy. One cannot get or expect better than that.

    Strengths:    Stiffness, fit, light weight. Weld quality, attention to detail. Service.
    Don't laugh: VALUE


    Weaknesses:    I can't make a living riding it.

    Bottom Line:   
    Likely the best bike available anywhere. For the same price as other high end exotica, the folks at Seven will create a masterpiece to your dimensions and riding style. Climbs like its part of you, and the fit has you riding more efficiently than ever before. Great product, attention to detail, and outstandng service. I will never buy a bike from anyone else. Don't even think of comparing this to a Litespeed. I rode a Palmares for two years, and thought that was as good as it gets. It's a tin can compared to this. More than a pound heavier, and half the stiffness. I can't imagine how stiff the Seven Axiom must be. I might have to get on of those as well. My glowing review is not the result of bribery. I'm as critical as they come. The quality is what amazes me about this product. It's nice to know that someone has the same focus.

    Strengths:    The stiff titainium makes the bike versitle and light weight

    Weaknesses:    I have yet to find one

    Bottom Line:   
    This is the most versatile bike I have ever ridden. If you are looking for something you can race on but then want to go slow and wait for someone and ride at their pace you can. This bike has smooth welding and beautiful designs.
