I ride an Axiom Ti and chose that model (2001) because I was not sure that I wanted another carbon hybrid (i.e., Trek 2300 - 1990?). I was also coming off of a Merlin Extralight that I had been riding for 8 years and just liked the look of an all ti bike. I recently sent the Seven back for a slight warranty issue that was remedied with a quick BB shell facing; Seven received, fixed, and shipped the bike out the same day!! Customer service is quite good, though I have heard a couple of negative stories. I had the chance to weigh the frame and it was 2.901 pounds for a 55.5 c-to-c frame that is plenty stiff! The only negative I can think of is that I am too over protective of the frame (e.g., not riding in the rain, concerned about traveling with it, etc.) cause it just looks so damn good!! The main positive is that the frame fits like a glove is very comfortable. While the bike was away, I was on my Redline "rain bike" and the difference in fit and comfort was noticeable...so glad to have the Axiom back. One other thing that I do not particularly like is the seatpost clamp. Do not get me wrong...the thing is nice to look at, but a little bulky. I recently switched to a Woodman clamp. The other thing I did not like was the headtube badge, so when I ordered the frame I asked them to leave it off, but send me the badge, which I use as a key ring. Most of these "negatives" are just personal preference type stuff. The frame itself has always performed like it should.
