Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Seven Steel Frame

Been looking at this https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123

Always wanted to build up a steel bike. And good? Worth it? Your opinion?

I'd want more than 10% off just to put up with all the offensive capital letters in the ad.

I love steel. And, that Seven looks sweet. However, $900.00 for a used steel frame seems high to me.

Might be a little steep but.......... If you want it and can afford it... Who cares? You will not care if it brings you big smiles and a happy ride for the next 10 years.

Price is too high. While Seven makes excellent frames, they are custom. Except for the 56cm dimensions in the ad, you have no idea what the rest is like. It's also 12 years old. I think $600-$700 is more reasonable for it.
