Specialized calls it "Grabber Green" - and it does just that. But I thought it helped cars avoid me in the fog . It's supposed to be a popular frame with Tri's due to that M4 compound they used in that year's Allez - very rigid, but not too harsh. Hopefully a Tri person will buy it from me too .

BTW: you asked how much the Seven was - the frame is $2800. I transferred most other things and at the last minute went for the Stella bar...too pimp, I had to have it.

PS: The gold "7" badge on the head tube is 24k plated - done by the bike shop for little coin actually. Looks great I think...

indeed, that emblem is awesome, my giant emblem is kinda loose, makes me mad, but i think it can hold up. also, that price is NUTS! being a college kid, that frame is going to wait a WHILE! BUT ONE DAY, IT WILL BE MINE, OH YES, IT WILL BE MINE! (just got done watching waynes world, ironically). but yes, that bike and the emblem look great, im jealous

Hit the books dude! )

Glad you like it, I'm very happy with the results. If it makes you feel less jealous, I'm an old man who rides the bike mostly to train for the Pan-Mass Challenge - so it's not JUST all about me.

HobieDude16

haha, but still, any way you look at it, that bike is killer, and no matter the age, or what your training for, its awesome. sheesh, im only riding for a college team? thats not too big a deal..

HobieDude16

That is cool looking, but what the heck is it. Never seen or heard of it before.

Kouta is a relativ new and small italian company. I think this guys are the same as the producers of well-known sintema carbon forks. They are also into others carbon parts, such as stems, bars. In fact most of their frames range are carbon frames. Mine is aluminium with the rear carbon triangule sticked to the main part. The fork is a Sintema full carbon.

thanks for the compliment

Checked out the website and you are correct. Very nice looking. Why did you not avail yourself of all the carbon they have to offer. I am now drooling all over myself after looking at what they offer. I guess there is a reason my wife won't let me have the checkbook or credit card. Happy riding.

How do you like your Guru Tantrik??? It is a beautiful ride!! I bought my wife a custom steel Guru a couple of years ago and she loves it. I have recently fallen in lust with their new Carbonio/ti. I currently ride a super sweet custom ti bike (built by Rich Gangl in Golden, CO) with full Campy Record but I would like to add a second steed to the stable. Just looking for your impressions.

Thanks,

Chris K.
