You get kudos for not faffing around with this build. Especially for a ti build! Custom Ti people appear to be some of the biggest timewasters in the entire world so getting the Seven knocked out, switching to campag (!) and then getting a custom fork all in short order shows that you actually want to ride the bike and not just want to make some framebuilder throw himself in the Pacific Ocean with emails about tubing options.

Hahaha thanks Dan. Yeah, I’ve not managed to ride it as much as I’d like but I’ve just hit 2500km on it and I’ve enjoyed all of them. I really really love this bike.
My favourite thing about it is just the fit. For the first time ever, I get home and just feel totally fine. No back pain, no aches etc. It’s as if it was made to measure 😉 I lie actually. After four and a half hours of basically non stop riding at the weekend, I started to get a bit of pain in my lower back. But that’s an issue with my core strength and flexibility, not an issue with the bike.
@spotter I decided on black in the end. The closest match to Ti is PPG 4820 Chrysler "Bright Platinum” and its what Seven use to colour match forks if people request it. However, it’s being powder coated, not wet paint and I can only use RAL’s. Anyway, tbh, I like the black front end with fork and stem with the Ti seatpost out back, so I’m keeping the fork black.
