I'd be looking at Seven, as you can go full custom for the same price as off the rack.


That would give me Fourteen. ;D


I love my Seven. 

A Seven would still be about the same as the Mosaic.  I like the Mosaic because it is local.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Yep, roughly same price.  Can you get custom geometry at that price from Mosaic?
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Warm enough here to do that...  just a bit breezy.

At 9:25 when they're talking to the old dude is classic.

What model is yours? Axiom S? That is the model that fit budget the best with Campagnolo Chorus . . . Mosaic RT2 has the closest geometry to Scott Addict size 49, that is almost my perfect fit; have not been able to see Seven's geometry in webpage .. .. Not considering MOOTS anymore, something did not fully "filled" my eyes . . . so now race is between Mosaic RT2 and Seven Axiom S

Mine is an older Id8, which is currently called the 622S. I've had this bike for twelve years, and it's been built up with a variety of different builds. Currently running mostly Record with a Super Record crank/BB.

You won't find much in the way of Seven's stock geometry, as custom is their thing. There's no additional charge to go custom with them (other than a good fit session), so why stick with stock?

'll give them a call, the only two bikes I am liking are the Seven Axiom S and the Mosaic RT2

BTW, I only use Campagnolo, on my current Scott Speedster 60 and whichever the next one is, it WILL BE Campagnolo . .  for MTB thinking bout SRam
