Seven Axiom S

Nice

Ooff. That looks amazing. And I haven't said that about a road bike in about 8 years.

Looks great. Proper photos and ride report please.

Bit better. Need to change bars. Reach too long.

How many bottle cage bosses?

Looks lovely.

Had to rotate shifters up and that happened. Doesn’t matter. New bars.

Trois

How come bats weren’t specced in the fit?

fair. looks great. Ti bikes are fun. Neo Classics?

Good news

Looks very Cali.
Nice man

That's really lovely, the ti seatpost is great.
I think the frame pump is on backwards, I think the soft rubber bit is supposed to be at the headtube.

It doesn’t work that way around unfortunately due to the profiles of the tubes.

@dancing james - there was some confusion here. I thought we had agreed 100mm stem / 75mm bars so I ordered a 100mm stem. I then got the order completion form from Seven that said 110mm stem. So I ordered 85mm bars to compensate for this. But I still think it should’ve been 100 / 75 all along. Not 110 / 75.

Niiiiiiice 👌 looks great!

Fair enough, and easily remedied.

Damn that is nice.

Love the crankset.

Thanks @velocio

Oh and here’s the ride report I sent to Craig:
Wow. This bike is easily the best handling bike I have ever ridden. Steering was completely effortless. It was telepathic. Genuinely telepathic. I didn’t even have to try and point it in the right direction. It just went there. Really have never had that sensation before. I didn’t do much climbing or descending as I wanted to take it easy but I cannot wait to get this on some twisty descents in the Santa Monica Mountains!

It cornered like it was on rails, too. Felt like my BB was way lower than it actually is - In a good way. Just glued to the tarmac.

It was also smooth like butter, obviously. Still need to play with tyre pressure as I’ve never used these Corsa’s, but the frame just soaked it all up. Potholes? What potholes!

To be perfectly honest, I can’t say much more than that at the moment. I’m sure I’ll get a better idea of how it handles after I take it for a proper ride this coming Friday. More thoughts will follow...!

Congratulations - lovely stuff.

Just rewrapped my zipp bars in the Fizik solocush tape. Shit name. Shit tape. Will be binning this off pretty soon. Correct reach is restored.

Just acquired what is probably the most boutique wheelset I have ever and will ever own, though I did once own 50mm carbon clinchers laced to these. The price was simply too good to turn down.

Black Phil Wood Pro's, Easton R90SL, Silver CX Ray's, Phil Wood skewers.

Strong.

Looks great. I like JB monogram. Doesn’t look like comic sans. Reminds me more of the Warner Bros. monogram. Which is fun along with the styling of Sim Works stuff. I need to get myself those bars in silver.

You talking like that really reminds me of the descending in my Seven Axiom (long since sold as it was slightly too big for me). The descending was always the best characteristic of the bike, doing long mountain descents on it was probably the best fun I've ever had on a bike.
