Hi Macbyrd, The story is that I will probably build a custom Axiom or Alaris next summer. I started a thread a while back on RBR about buying such an expensive bicycle through an eBay auction, see the attached link, http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=18090 As I wrote in my response, the answers that really got me thinking were those about just being a smart consumer and thinking about my other responsibilities in life (my kids, mortgage, food). And of course, not being able to try the Seven beforehand really was a deciding factor. The Seven Axiom that I considered buying is still around, the bicycle store selling it is not really in any rush. I still think about buying it, especially because the US dollar is so low right now compared to the Swedish Krona. Read the threads and tell me what you think you would have done and what your advice is. Cheers, Wayne
