Just a pretty sweet looking bike!

I love the way hybrid bikes look - never had the chance to ride seven's version or a ottrott.... gotta be something to it!

Around the time I got my Ottrott (05) Seven made the Elium which was carbon/ti as well. How is this new one different?

The bike pictured above, if I'm correct, is the 2012 Seven 622 SLX. Seven refers to it as carbon tubes joined with titanium lugs. It's their lightest frame. The Serotta Ottrott SE is a different approach... Titanium located where it's properties are best applied. 2 tube materials absorb road vibrations at different frequencies providing a smooth ride. Both of these bikes have mixed materials but with different objectives.

The headtube on this one looks like Looks (Lemond's/Hinault's) first carbon lugged bike. I can't download a pic as it is blocked from work.
