Master  2404   Redlands, CA |  Subject: My new Speed Concept 7Just purchased a Speed Concept 7.0 this weekend, and I was able to bring it home today! Unfortunately, its pouring out here in Southern California (life is tough!) so I won't be able to take it on its maiden voyage until sometime next week. |

Master 2404 Redlands, CA | Subject: RE: My new Speed Concept 7 Oriondriver02 - 2011-02-16 6:50 PM That is the bike I have narrowed my search down to... just have yet to pull the trigger... much like you... it felt great! CONGRATS! The only negative is the wheelset; however they'll make serviceable training wheels, and none of the wheels at the pricepoint are going to be great. Apex has great reviews, having never rode SRAM or heard of Apex I did alot of research into this and its really just a heavier version of Rival, which is a heavier version of Force. Let us know how it goes... |

Pro 3804 Seacoast, NH! | Subject: RE: My new Speed Concept 7 Man, I love these bikes. My LBS is a Trek store and they are awesome people to deal with too. I hate to say it because I ride one, but Cervelo is such a pain to deal with. Many dealers concur with that as well...too bad. I think the new speed concept is what the P2 was a couple years ago. |

Champion 7136 Knoxville area | Subject: RE: My new Speed Concept 7 Very nice, I got to play with one the other day at my LBS. The rear brake is actually pretty well designed (which is shocking) although I'm still not 100% on board with the front brake on the 9. Very sweet ride! |

Let us know how it goes... This is what the SC7 looks like with deep carbon wheels.... pretty sweet eh? BTW it's not my bike. I keep telling myself, "I don't need wheels, I don't need wheels". The bike was a bday present from my wife and she was a tad bit offended that I'm swapping out the brake levers (SRAM S900) and front brake (SRAM Rival), little does she know about how we triathletes work. More than likely I will pick up the SRAM S60 Front, S80 Back, or some other wheelset in the 1000-1600 range. IMAZ is my A race this year, and while I plan on doing other races and a few TT's, I don't see myself being competitive enough to really worry about them right now. |

My bike store is stripping a 7.5 and putting all those components on the 7.0 for me (i LOVE the black and gray color). Many miles of happiness to you on that beauty! I was very tempted to do this myself but outside of weight, there isn't much wrong with Apex. This is my first SRAM bike so I'm looking forward to how the components work. I've run Shimano, and my roadie is Campy. I also had to order a new saddle (Cobb V-Flow Max) as I can already tell this one will not work for me. |

| New user 38 Los Angeles | Subject: RE: My new Speed Concept 7 I just got the 7.5 and did the Tour de Palm Springs century ride on it this past weekend. It was amazingly fast - much faster than my road bike - and very comfortable. Except for the saddle - I had a bit of numbness for couple days and just ordered the Cobb V-Flow Max yesterday. Congratulations - looks like a sweet ride! |

Congratulations - looks like a sweet ride! Thanks, that's good to hear about the century. I should be recieving my Cobb in about a week. After 45 minutes on the trainer I knew the factory saddle wasn't going to work. The nice thing about the Cobbs are the 90 day money back guarantee. If they didn't have it I wouldn't have bought a saddle without testing it. |
