Seven Elium Race
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Here is my Seven Elium Race with a Serotta F3 fork, full Campy Record 10 speed groupset, and custom carbon clinchers built up with Reynolds 46 SLG rims/White Industries T11 hubs. I acquired this recently in a local sale for a great price (minus the wheels; it came with a pair of Mavic wheels); the owner said he rode it a handful of times then decided he didn't enjoy road cycling as much as he thought he would. I suppose his loss is my gain; made even better by the fact that the geometry works very well for me and I have always lusted after Seven's Ti-Carbon creations.
Sits right at 7.6 kg as shown.

Nice saddle, an all black-matt seatpost would look better.

Nice bike. I agree w kgt. matte carbon would be great. I think Ti would look a bit top heavy in this case.
How's the saddle? I've been eyeing one
Such a fabulous looking bike, and definitely agree that matte black carbon would look good, but something with less extreme layback would look even better assuming the bike was correctly fitted.
I notice it wasn't customized for you since you picked it up used, but even so that does seem quite an extreme position behind the BB to need such a seatpost.

The saddle is quite good. It took a while to dial in the tilt, and I wish the nose was a bit narrower, but other than those I really have no complaints. It hasn't been eating through my bibs or anything like that, either (in case you are wondering, as some have suggested the rough texture of the cover might damage bibs).

Thanks. My long femurs require a lot of setback (about 10.5 cm), as confirmed by multiple fit sessions using different methods. For my custom geometry bikes, I spec 72 - 72.5 degree STA so that I can use a 25 mm setback seatpost. This frame has a 73 degree STA, and I tried running a 25 mm setback seatpost (as seen in the first picture) but couldn't get the saddle where I needed it, so I have resorted to a 32 mm setback seatpost. Also, because of the rail positioning and shape of the Cambium saddle, the setback seems to look a little more extreme.
Post looks way better.
