The appeal of Seven or the Serotta this replaces is the fine tuning of tube sets specific to the ride characteristics desired by the owner. Serottas double and triple butting of tubes gave an insane amount of fine tuning. IIRC a custom sized serotta had a few thousand possible permutations of tubes depending on rider weight, strength and how they wanted the bike to ride and or feel under them. Whether these fine nuances are actually detectable to the rider is questionable but I fucking love mine.

Have you thought about Legend and their Ti/Carbon frame? Can't recall how much they are off the top of my head, but they only do custom, and because they're European it might offset at least some of the shitty GBP/dollar exchange rate (no import duties as well)?
