 Very nice - but still looks Big. Independent Fabrication would have nailed it in one!

Am I missing the picture of DP stood next to it, or riding it?

  Bloody gorgeous

 Only 160 rotors? how irresponsible.  Very nice looking bike.

 Looks great...and light (even for such a big bike) I've got one of those, too....built a bit different, nice slack headangle, EBB, LOADS of standover....nice and versatile, light enough to race but playful enough to, well, play!! The welds are really something to behold, as is the sexy headbadge, and my favourite, the deco-looking dropouts. Good choice, daftpunk! Enjoy!!!!

 That's lovely Daftpunk I'm literally tenting

 I've just been measured for a Parlee road bike. the CAD drawings were mailed to me for final approval and tweaking after the frame was designed by parlee. If you had a custom build did Seven not show you a final design and dimensions before the build? BTW-nice bike.

 It's a bit European for my tastes (short frame, long stem) but rather delicious all the same! Why put up with an XT casette though?

 Oh fame at last! Thanks for the nice words people. Yes 160mm rotors are because this is primarily a race machine and when I'm racing I don't use the brakes anyway! As for it being European it's designed and built in the USA. Still rides well though. Seven did send the CAD designs but I'm not a frame building expert and no one at the LBS saw that it was too big. Some thought that the problem was that Seven had the wrong dimensions for the Fox forks. And if it does look big it could be because I am around 6'2 but not 6'4 which would have been the right height for the first effort.

Incidentaly the Hope brakes now sit on board my 853 On One Inbred with 180mm rotor up front! In the market for some new brakes for the Seven. I think either the new Hope pros or Formula not sure yet which. And why not an XT cassette? You never see it and it gets ground to paste anyway after a few months.

 Well I think it's fantastic - well done Punk. As a new owner of the poor man's version (Cotic Soda) I'm definitely a fan of the Ti hardtail school.

Can you explain the correct inside leg measurement that finally worked and why did it not work from the outset?
