Seven Axiom SLX, 4-season and all-road

Get Scoble to put 90mm of spacers under the stem. That'll be a surprise.

Oh wait, I've ruined it.

Looks great, full pink frames like that are uncommon and really stand out. The example that springs to mind is this one from a tour back in 2010 - the cheeky bugger had a triple on it too. It's the only bike from the group that I can still recall, the rest were forgettable carbon and bare titanium stuff.

Just looked at the photo again.

That bottom bracket cluster is damn nice.

Makes me realise that all of the tubes are quite over-sized that they needed to do the work to get that bottom bracket looking like that. It's very nicely done, and the larger tubes act to visually diminish that massive head tube.

Cannot wait to see it all built up.

When are you expecting to collect it?

No idea.

It's awaiting the levers and those are expected at the end of this week or beginning of next week.

Then it just needs building up. Allowing a week or so for that would suggest I could get it at the end of this month or early next month.

I truly admire your ability to wait

I'm a 2 marshmallow kid.

... and the larger tubes act to visually diminish that massive head tube.

Bubble wrap can have that effect too.

'the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes'
Winning!!

This explains so much...

there was more research that found people who play video games are almost all 1 marshmallow kids. I know I am.

How, I don't understand?

Tell​ me why now.

I cannot let you finish first and win.

Pifko, I'm waiting. Y U no respond???

C'mon, I'm waiting...

OMG what is going here?!

:o

OMG what is going here?!

Awaiting stuff still. Popped in yesterday to ask... should be next week.

I did ask whilst I was in there... is it still pink? Yes, it is.

@Velocio if you'd like some photos of this once it's done just let me know, for free obviously.

It turns out Shimano are insanely delayed.

We're still waiting on the levers, and I didn't realise we are also waiting on the power meter.

• Powermeter: FC-R9100-P 172.5 34-50 out of stock until 11/10/2017
  
• Shifter/brake levers/calipers: ST-R9170 front and rear
  
  

That out of stock date implies a late October completion.

I've sent Gary Lee (boss of Shimano UK) a long missive basically asking WTF is going on with Shimano that such delays are acceptable. And pointing out that I (and others) now have to face the question: SRAM eTap Hydro?

And there it is... SRAM eTap Hydro? Should I switch... or wait?

Do you like a noisy drive train and crappy front shift? If yes, get SRAM.

And dot fluid.
