Nice short wheelbase and negative rake. Most excellent!

They publish max rider weight recommendations. That must cut into their
sales.

http://www.sevencycles.com/bikes/featuresoptionsroad.html

Lowest max wt over all models is 200#. For the posh Elium, looks like
240# for steel/carbon and 280# (?; I can't make out the small print)
for the uber-posh Ti/carbon. So the line doesn't exactly target the
super-fit whippet segment of the population ;-).

I thought Dan already established the bulk of their sales are
to women. Given that, their bikes are distressingly overbuilt.

Another case of doping in cycling. I wonder what the guy was on to not notice
the fork being backwards.

It could be that the bulk of their sales are to men who like to dress up as
women when they ride. In 1993, "The Crying Game" won seven awards. You
can connect the dots from there.

Hmmm.... now you have me worried.

Anyway, 7Ti -- maybe. 7Ti+C: Fred, I'm afraid. P>$10K=>Fred, unless
maybe it's a tandem or something.

I don't want to go all Kunich here, but you do live in the Bay Area. It is
possible there are a lot of rich cross-dressing Fred's. You're sure you
haven't unwittingly stumbled onto the Trans-Bay Bridge Cycling Team? Not
that there's anything wrong with that.

Isn't that the cool way to set up a motor-paced bike? Maybe this is
another subterranean pro getting rid of last year's bike.

What I can't decide is if he straddled the down tube with the canti brake
cable.

He drilled through it like a cyclocross stem.
