I am in awe, beautiful bikes. As a Serotta owner (TiMax 29er custom - not for me bit fits perfectly!) i know what you mean about buy once buy proper. I felt a wee bit guilty ordering a new Tallboy (carbon tut tut) but i won;t so much now. Great collection, well done 😀
And bolax to anyone that complains about cost and stuff - you obviously value them and if you can afford it then why not. Life is too short.

Most people have slightly less expensive bikes as thier Winter road bikes... not just a carbon copy with different tyres and mudguards! Love it 🙂

Where's the BMX?

I thought I was a bit silly building my winter bike with the dura ace group off my last race bike, but now I feel like it was a frugal decision.

Beautiful collection of bikes.

Yes. By making your eyes bleed.

Where did you buy the Seven frames from in the UK? Or did you have they shipped from the US?

That is a stunning collection of bikes.

Please don't be offended by this but, are you single by chance?

I have some nice bikes. But there's no way I could justify to my wife spending shed loads more on the bikes than the house!

I love sevens. Been my dream bike since 1998, but I've always held off buying one maybe just to keep the dream going!

Justificaton is in the eye of the wallet holder.

Very nice collection. Am particularly jealous of the cx bike :mrgreen:

They are all the same frame, just with different bits added, and I claim my £7 please.

Lovely.

I do like having all the same brand of bikes. We have 3 Specialized bikes in our house as I like their stuff, in some cases it's the only thing that fits (my wife's xs Vita for example!!). Probably going to be 4 next year to be honest.

All of my bikes, bar the Brompton, are On-Ones/PX

Brand loyalty is like a warm blanket even if a bit unadventurous.

on that FS bike... your spine (and consequently a hell of a lot of weight) is pretty much directly over the middle of the back wheel.

i know its ugly as sin etc, but surely sitting that far back must mean it rides like a sack o shite too? i just cant imagine pedalling with my bb 18inches in front of my ass! its like a half recumbent (sp?!)

Gosh, I thought this thread was dead. SO many questions!

Am I single? - No (and by that I don't mean I have 6 2 wheeled mistresses!).

Where from? - See me earlier response. Some from the UK (Sigma Sport) and some direct from Seven from New Zealand (not that random, I was living there!)

I did consider Kermit green for the forks, but although they look stunning, against a fairly conservative colour scheme elsewhere I had to resist the urge. Lovely colour BTW, but is it me or don't they match the colour of the frame?

The full susser? - Actually the saddle and handlebars are in a normal position relative to everything else, including the position over the rear wheel. The angles of the frame are weird admitedly and the whole frame looks strange, but weight distribution and ride are 1st rate and quite normal. It's a definite Marmite bike for sure!

Thanks for all the positive feedback all.

You don't live in wellington do you ?
I see a guy every day riding a Sola into town and things like that are not very common here. Its a lovely lovely bike, we often raise eyebrows as he sees the Serotta and i clock his Seven.
Its like themating call of the mtb'er, except we don;t mate or 'owt !
