How do you decide which one to ride?
Do you know approx weights of both of them?

Both ride fairly similarly as the geo isn’t very different. The Seven feels quick despite being about 2 lbs heavier (~19 lb with Easton alloy wheels) than the Boone, which has Nox carbon wheels. I’ve ridden both on the road and gravel. I like how both maneuver — neutral handling — when going down technical and large, loose gravel sections.
The Boone absorbs bumps/shock better due to the Iso-coupler in the seat tube and carbon frame & wheels. So I use it instead of the Seven if the road may be rougher. Otherwise I choose based on whim. :-)
