Here is the man himself, at the top of the morning shop ride’s first climb, taking his road bike where it was (n)ever meant to go. Axiom SL, wide tires, handling skills, can-do attitude. Categories stop meaning what we think they mean.
Wayne S’s Elium SL
This is Wayne’s Elium SL with Half & Half paint scheme in Amber Ale and bare titanium. We built this for Wayne with our good friends at Get-a-Grip in Chicago.
Wayne says:
I wanted to let know that I picked up my new Elium SL last Wednesday (6/5) and have since put about 180 miles on it. First, let me say the bike is stunning!! Second, the fit, ride and performance of the bike is incredible!! The bike has exceeded any expectations I had.
Thanks to you and the Seven team for making me a Seven customer for life.
Seven on the World Cup Circuit
We recently built new Sola 650b SLX race bikes for Mike Broderick and Mary McConneloug and had them delivered to Germany where the pro mountain biking power couple are working their way around the World Cup circuit.
Mary said:
The frames turned out beautifully!
The care you all take with your work, the attention to detail and finesse is second to NONE! Rob – your design, is again, masterful! We know so many hands played a part in this project! Thank you guys for your artful work in planning, crafting and shipping these incredible frames to Mike and I over here in Europe!! Mike spent the majority of this past week carefully building the frames up at the SRAM headquarters in central Germany. Having access to a real shop (and not some outdoor RV camp spot) to build the bikes up was very much appreciated. Thanks to our awesome crew of supporting sponsors who helped with the various components – everything came together perfectly.
We feel so lucky to be backed by the best in the industry and we are honored to represent you all out in the field!
We got out on our first ride in the forests of Schweinfurt yesterday and instantly were both SMILING! The fit and balance of the frames are impeccable. My first impression of riding the 27.5 wheel size was the ease of acceleration. I could feel the relation of the pedal stroke efficiently translate my power to the smaller wheel size and it seemed easier overall to push and maintain a smooth cadence. The complete bike is also a little lighter and easier to maneuver through the tight turns of the trails…
We can hardly wait to RACE our new 27.5 Solas at the World Cup in Italy this weekend!!!
Thank you all again!!!
We are truly honored to represent Seven Cycles and ever grateful for your continued support of our team.
Yours truly,
Mary and Mike
Terri G’s Sola SL – Back Country Explorer
This is Terri’s Sola SL. When she called us, she was excited to build a new bike for this weekend’s Dirty Kanza, but also as a do-everything back country explorer. With a flat bar, disc brakes and a rigid fork, this bike is super versatile. We worked on it with our good friends at Richardson Bike Mart in Richardson, TX. After the inaugural 200 miles she’ll put on it in Kansas, she knows just what’s coming next.
Terri says:
My bigger plan is to put bigger tires and frame bags on it and head out to do some bike-packing. First up, Montana on the Great Divide route in July.
Best bike ever. Thanks so much!
