Probably on the Mount Vernon trail or Fort Hunt Park? You're right about the Sevens. I've only seen 2 in the wild since I ordered mine last fall. I see a few Serotta's and Litespeeds from time to time.

Seven was high on my list of bikes to get. I ended up with the Litespeeds because they both turned up as really good deals. Seven is made in Mass so I was very partial to keeping my biz as local as possible but the Litespeeds were too good deals to pass up.

Here's my 2000 Litespeed Classic. It has a mishmash of parts, but they're Campy 10-speed. The bike performed well when I took it to the Tour de France in 2004. It's been up Alpe d'Huez, and down the Champs Elysees. I'm in the process of switching it over to a compact, which I wish I had for Alpe d'Huez! I'm keeping a standard 39/53 on my Merckx so there's more of a difference between the two bikes. The pedals are now Shimano 105 SPD-SL's.

Somehow the word "discreetly" doesn't apply to this bike (I know it is an id, but....)
Those wheels look really nice. Gives me idea for my bike if a big wad of cash drops from the sky.
I am not sure if it is the camera angle or not, but the rear brake pad seems a little high?

In it most recent iterations:
With Reynolds Strike wheels (no longer have them, however):
With Zonda wheels and PMP titanium seatpost to replace the generic black aluminum one that used to be on there:
Now I need to polish the frame to match the seatpost

Skinny version:
Hubs: DT 240S Disc
Spokes: DT Aerolite with pro-lock brass nipples (32R / 28F)
Rims: DT Swiss RR 465
Tyres: Vittoria Open Corsa 700x23C
Fattie version:
Hubs: DT 240S Disc
Spokes: DT Competition with pro-lock brass nipples (32R / 32F)
Rims: Stans ZTR355 650b
Tyres: Grand Bois Hetre 650x42B
So, two different rim diameters. That's the main reason why the disc brakes
