If you don't mind sharing, what made you go for the KVA? I like the bike and it appears as though the ss is well thought out for use as bicycle frame material. I love the Seven, but if one can get a great quality frame for a reasonable price why not? $3,600 for the Seven frame is hard for me to justify - even for an "ultimate" bike.

I had a Litespeed and although they did a nice clean job on the frame I went back to a full carbon Trek and loved the difference (road bike - 5200).

I decided on the KVA because I already have a Seven Ti frame. I knew I wanted a corrosion resistant material and I liked what the builder had to say about the KVA's hardness, stiffness and weight compared to a comparably equipped 3.5AL-2.5V Ti frame so that is what made me decide on the KVA SS.
