opinions on a bike please

OK, I can purchase a 2003 Seven Axiom steel bike if I want from a friend. He says it should fit me perfect but I'm going to have a professional fitting done tuesday and get all the numbers I need, tube lengths, stand over for every bike type. I am really interested in this bike and would like some reviews from everyone as I will pull the trigger if all the numbers and the bike fit. Thanks in advance.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

A Seven? You're worried about buying one of the best hand crafted bikes on the planet

If it fits, and is in good shape........snap it up!

If it fits you and you can get it at a decent price, this is a great bike to own.
