Whoa. That colorway is killer. Love using the climbing switches that way, although the xtr display is a bit much.

NOPE!

Stem angle, wheels, derailleur pulleys, bottle cages, 22 tires.

I like it. The owner supports the low-volume industry.

Additionally, this is one of the few custom bikes in this world I still have interest in. I like that it can be built to recall the 1980s early carbon bikes with aluminum lugs like Alan and Vitus and TVT and Look and Peugeot frames. Those were aspirational bikes for this 1980s bike racer. I loved the aesthetic very much. I’d love one of these 622 SLXs, with a level top tube, possibly built up with a Campagnolo EPS groupset.

You have great taste ! Yea I'd like it very much if my Seven 622 had a level TT and Campy EPS, but Im pretty happy as it is.

Wow, very sweet!

But kills me the orange height adjustment sticker was left on the FD cage. Funny!

Killer bike, thanks for sharing

Love the frameset, not loving the wheels. Not real big on the wagon wheel pulley either.

Cool, but for my tastes, the cockpit is a bit busy and for all the effort of a photo shoot, they left torn sticker residue on the rear wheel where the lower chain crosses the rim. Come on!

That is not an ugly Seven, and it also doesn't have the huge headtube that Seven seems to always spec.

Due to the fact that they are more concerned with fitting the rider than just looking like a pro-race bike.

I can appreciate the look of the painted lugs, but would have much rather seen it like yours Karl with the Ti raw lugs.
