    Seven Axiom custom frame $2695.00

    Litespeed Ultimate off the rack frame $3290.00

    Litespeed Vortex off the rack frame $3350.00

    Where do people get the idea that Seven is SO expensive compared to
    Litespeed?

    know if the quality of his product has stayed the same.

    Serotta is more expensive than Seven too. To wit:

    Complete Seven road-frame price list:

    Model Tubing Frame
    Elium Cirrus TC™ Ultra-butted Ti and carbon fiber $3,595
    Alta Cirrus™ Ultra-butted Titanium $3,295
    Odonata Argen TC™ Butted Ti and carbon fiber $3,195
    Axiom Argen™ Butted titanium $2,695
    Alaris Integrity325™ Straight-gauge titanium $1,995
    Elium steel Origin SC™ Butted steel and carbon fiber $2,295
    Axiom steel Origin™ Butted steel $1,495

    Partial Serotta road-frame price list:

    Ottrott ST: $4995
    Ottrott: $4595
    Legend ST: $3695
    Legend: $3295

    Compare Legend/Legend ST to Axiom/Odonata.

    Moots Vamoots-$2245-best of the lot IMO.

    But isn't that a straight gauge frame? If so, the Seven version, Alaris, is
    $1995. A better deal yet. Also, I don't think the Vamoots is custom at
    that price but I may be wrong. Also, also, aren't you a Moots dealer? Hmm.

    Dear Trevor,

    True, Dravidian words for animals do not use internal vowel
    gradation to form plurals, which distinguishes them from our
    few surviving Old English words for animals and anatomy,
    such as man/men, woman/women (double), mouse/mice,
    goose/geese, tooth/teeth, and foot/feet.

    This internal vowel gradation should not be confused with
    such pluralizations as knife/knives, life/lives, or
    wife/wives, which involve voicing of consonants.

    Nor should it be confused with the even rarer ox/oxen,
    child/children pluralizations, which involve an otherwise
    lost suffix and an excrescent -r.

    Pedantically,

    Carl Fogel

    I know a mongoose is Indian, and the word is English, with reference to a
    dictionary of 2000 vintage the plural is mongooses. Just spotted "," after

    Moots are good enough welders to use thin walled ti and not burn it. Double
    butting for ti is mostly marketing and to prevent welders from killing it.

    Custom Moots, add $350.

    And yep, we sell lots of Moots, the only ti we sell.

  18. You're thinking of Mark Hickey.

    Peter has political opinions but he is generally more restrained about
    expressing them here than Mr. Hickey.

    And he has little to do with Habanero.

    I know who Peter and Mark are: Peter was recommending Moots, and I
    added that a possible candidate for good Ti was Habanero. However, I
    questioned the quality since Mark had spent so much time involved in
    politics. I know that Peter has political views too.

    Hey, we all have hobbies... luckily I type fast and read faster, and
    don't need a lot of sleep. It might be different if I was actually
    the guy welding the frames - but I wouldn't be crazy enough to ride a
    frame I welded.
