Thought you might like to see another Seven Axiom SG. 61cm S-T, 60cm TT I think, pretty big but fits me! Rest is Dura Ace, Mavic Elite Wheels (currently bent!). It's very smooth, and very stiff, the 4 degree semi compact slope helps it look less large. About 18lbs, light for the size. Best part- the forks, very comfortable, amazing ride, cornering is in a different class comapred to my prevoius bike, a 60cm Cannondale ( which I also liked a lot). Thanks to Sigma Sports and Mark for the bike, v good service!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. How did you go on the fit scale as far as vertical compliance, drive train rigidity, etc?

Thanks, looks smaller in real life than it does in the photos actually. It was a demo frame, so I haven't got the figures yet, next week I think, but I'm told it is a 'standard' SG frame. I'll post them when I have them.

Rode this well organised fantastic event at the weekend (Etape du Dales for the Dave Rayner Fund www.etapedudales.co.uk) 175Km in North Yorkshire, 3110M of ascent lot's of 20% inclines, the Seven was great and in very rain the handling was stable. Downhill I was so much safer on a frame that fitted well. Having said that I received comments about the huge headtube, in a group my bars are 6 inches higher than most!
