Sure... but the Serotta couldn't handle 35mm tyres and really wouldn't be the bike of choice on a dash down the Thames path.
This is where the Seven comes in... all-road, all-season. To forego only a little of the thoroughbred race bike to get something more universal is worth it. The Seven is still super quick, still leaving people for dust this morning (even though it seems everyone must try and race a pink bike with loud wheels).
The Seven isn't slow by any estimation, it's just a fraction slower compared to a thoroughbred race bike.
