The only way to solve this is to go on a soul- searching bikepacking trip on the Seven to Stockholm, and upon arrival taking in the sights and selling it to me, and finding peace (I can give you a Trek 830 frame as partial payment thus adding to metal balance).

Let’s have a look at the Vit T2 then!
-
you're much further along the path of having an all Ti roster of bikes than I am.
Personally I'd wonder why you need all of the Burls, Seven and Enigma, don't their usages overlap? What's the point in having a winter titanium bike? Titanium doesn't rust, all of your bikes are winter bikes.
I'm not a gravel bod, but does the Ribble get any usage, if you're wandering down memory lane with the Orange? Or vice versa.I'd keep:
one of these,whichever of the road bikes, you prefer riding on,
Burls winter bike - Rival 10s, Arione, Tune
Seven Axiom SL - Red eTap, Zipp, ee, Arione 00
Enigma Echo - fancy flip paint, 10s RecordAnd then one of these
Ribble CGR (disguised as an ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Isen’, a joke that not even I find funny) - Force, Thomson, choice of wheels
Orange Vit T2 -all present and period correct with blue ano, Middleburns, thumbies, Dia Compe SS5, Hope, RC30and keep the Burls fixed - Phil hubs, Thomson, Record carbon levers, as this is a fixed and single speed forum, and you're down to three
-
4) Seven Axiom SL - Red eTap, Zipp, ee, Arione 00
There goes my plan of selling you my Axiom
-
got any photos of the Seven?

Reading this thread, I did a mental ‘my ti bikes’ audit. And I’m fucking aghast at the result (not humblebrag, literal shame at this lot languishing in a dank shed while I luxuriate in my own indolence).
I share with the genuine hope that I will be (harshly) judged and that this may shame/spark me into action. I’ll go in order of acquisition, please be (un)kind.
1) Orange Vit T2 -all present and period correct with blue ano, Middleburns, thumbies, Dia Compe SS5, Hope, RC30
2) Burls fixed - Phil hubs, Thomson, Record carbon levers
3) Burls winter bike - Rival 10s, Arione, Tune
4) Seven Axiom SL - Red eTap, Zipp, ee, Arione 00
5) Ribble CGR (disguised as an ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Isen’, a joke that not even I find funny) - Force, Thomson, choice of wheels
6) Enigma Echo - fancy flip paint, 10s Record
I can only describe this as a plaintive middle aged cry for help
