U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
Named after our pro team racer Kelly Catale, the KellCat is a unapologetic cross-country race bike. It loves short bursts of all-out power that push it through technical terrain and launch it down fast descents. This bike wants to go fast, with a snappy suspension that rewards bike handling skills and courage. The light chassis gives the rider the ability to "body" the bike through corners. Short chainstays add traction and acceleration to the mix.
Fast, agile, superlight, a climber

Seven tends to keep the kits matching by brand. While this make the price a bit higher we find that you end up with a better performing bike that lasts longer and has a lower total cost of ownership. Even small details like cables and housing that are kit matching. This might sound trivial but over a few months of riding a high quality housing set will perform much better than cheap imitations that look almost identical.
