Ivan Basso riding a Seven in SoCal?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I think this story has been floating around for a while, but cycleto.com has photos of Ivan on his Seven, and the actual drawing that Seven used to build the bike. Pretty cool.

He has also ridden a Pinarello during his Fassa Bortolo days. I believe his Marvel showed up on ebay once. Ti isn't dead. And yes this story has floated around. I saw something similar on podiumcafe.

Ti(and steel) are far from 'dead' Both are great materials, last a long time, look great and ride great. Just the 'big boys(and many small boys) are awash with the extremely marketed material of today-carbon.

I meant to say dead amongst the pro's. I'm sure carbon makes for a great frame, but I'm still having fun on my aluminum and steel bikes.

Careful on materials. Take a look on line at some of the frames used for the classics season. Not all of that stuff is carbon...

A few Scandium offerings out there, but they are becoming fewer and fewer each year.

Occasionally you will even find steel frames. IIRC Ballan raced on a one-off steel Wilier for the classics season 2~3 years ago...
