None.

Jamis Exile, Gunnar Rockhound (both steel)
Bike Setup:
Fox F32RLC 80mm fork, RaceFace, SRAM drivetrain, Mavic rims, and Avid rim brakes
Bottom Line:
I found out through a fitting session that I have long legs relative to my torso length. This is why "off the shelf" frames generally aren't comfortable for me. I also don't like the specs. on the new hardtails that are available. Seven's design/build process addresses and eliminates these shortcomings. I can now ride as long as I want with no pain. This frame is an engineering masterpiece that is made for me. It is well worth the cost.
