Hi everybody.. I have been blessed to ride some very cool bikes made from ti including a Merlin XLM, Litespeed Owl hollow, Fat Chance Ti, Seven sola and I must say that my IF ti Deluxe beats them all! I love the custom program and the shot peened finish is unreal. the sad thing is no picture can do the finish justice it really has to be seen. I also just built my Xmas present a Ti Crown Jewel. Really great bikes and backed by the Best people in the industry... I love em!!!!! I don't know how to post pics or I would..

capn; congrats first off. can't help you with the pics thing but, since i've also ridden a number of ti MTB HT's (but never an IF) and now own a sola what do you find as the differences that make it a better ride than the sola? just curious. personally, i find the sola to be razor sharp in the steering (i only ride new england singletrack), great climbing, stiff in the bb when standing/climbing/sprinting and comfy enuf for 3hrs in the NE woods. even tho IF is made in my backyard, so is Seven i still don't see many of them around where i ride.

Hoestly, the difference in my Ti Deluxe and my old Sola was and is the parts. I had Xtr, yada yada on the Sola but I didn't have disc brakes mounts and I couldn't find a fork I liked.. The IF has no frame or parts weakness. To tell you the truth I have a friend who owns a shop and was looking into carrying a high-end manufacturer and Seven had a dealerr that was close and IF didn't I went with the deal..
