Common Questions About Seven's Bikepacking Bikes

  • "Should I get custom or stock?"    Check out our comparison table.
  • "What is Rider-Ready?"    It's sort of like a stock bike but much better.
  • "Does Seven offer welded frame mounts for frame bags, extra bottles, and special request placements?"     In most cases, no. Read some reasons that adding mounts is bad for frame durability.
  • "Why would I get a bikepacking bike from Seven? What experience do you have?"     Read about Seven's decades of experience designing bikepacking rigs.

Choose Your Frame Size & Fit

First, choose your frame size (top tube length). Once you have that, then choose your front end height (or frame stack height) to dial in your perfect fit.

Two Rider Fit Profiles

We offer distinct fit profiles in 12 sizes each.

Fit Profile Fit Description Position Variants,
relative to the other two fit profiles
Standard Fit A neutral fit position for bikepacking. Our most popular geometry works well for the majority of riders. Similar to the industry's common bikepacking fit. Neutral. From which all other fits are compared.
Endurance Fit Slightly more upright and shorter than our standard bikepacking position. Better for long rides where comfort is as important as performance. This fit profile can also be better for exploring unknown territory. Compared to our Standard Fit:
  • The front end height and handlebar position is about 3.0 cm (1.2") higher.
  • The reach from saddle to handlebar is about 1 cm (0.4") shorter.

General Frame & Bike Geometry Notes

Complete frameset details are on the standards and component interfaces page.

Most measurements in centimeters and degrees.

Specifications subject to change.

Fit Geometry footnotes:

  1. Bike geometry calculated with 29 x 2.6" mountain tires.
  2. Top tube length is effective: Starting from the centerline of the head tube and top tube intersection measured horizontally to the ground, back to the seat tube.
  3. Frame stack BB-HT: This is what most bike companies simply call "stack." However, there is frame stack and separately handlebar/stem stack. Seven clarifies frame stack by including BB-HT. Because we only provide frameset specifications (rather than bike specifications), we cannot provide stem stack here.
  4. Frame reach warning: This popular measurement is not a good gauge of proper bike fit. Also, the term is not accurate and, therefore, often causes confusion. Seven qualifies the term with "BB-HT" to help define the measurement. Regardless of these shortcomings, we include frame reach BB-HT because it has become a popular industry shorthand for comparing one bike size to another. While the frame reach numbers Seven shows here are accurate, Seven does not take responsibility for an ill-fitting bike if a fitter relies on the frame reach number. Top tube length combined with stem length is much more relevant and helpful in bike-to-bike fit comparisons.

Fit Geometry footnotes continued:

  1. Standover height is measured midway along the top tube, the actual typical point where a rider stands on a bike. Be aware that this is different from how many production bikes measure standover height.
  2. Rider height range, typical: Choosing a bike size based on height is not wise. We include height ranges because it is a standard industry practice. If you need help deciding what size you should ride, visit a bike fitter to determine your ideal size. Seven does not offer size recommendations remotely. Including size ranges also highlights that most riders could choose from three Rider Ready sizes — as opposed to one for most stock bike alternatives.
  3. Rider weight range: This is the rider in birthday suit, without any clothing, equipment, hydration, etc. To understand Seven's ride weight philosophy and parameters, read our Ride Carry-Weight standards. Ranges shown here are our recommendations for optimal ride performance. However, if your weight is above the recommendation, the bike will still handle and perform significantly better than any stock bike. For specific component weight limits, check with the manufacturer.

Frame Geometry Performance footnotes:

  1. Toe overlap warning: Because toe overlap is determined, in large part, by factors not related to frame geometry, we cannot guarantee that your bike setup will not have any overlap. Make sure you are comfortable with the length of the front center before ordering a bike. You can check your current bike to compare front centers.
  2. Seat tube length is measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the intersection of the top tube's centerline. To determine the total seat tube length from the top edge of the seat top to the center of the bottom bracket, add about 4.5 cm.

Options & Upgrades

Dropout Type

Seven offers two dropout types for this model. The essential difference is the derailleur hanger:

Integrated derailleur hanger: This is available at no charge. This is the most common option. It is differentiated by having the toughest derailleur hanger on the market. It works with every derailleur type except SRAM electronic Transmission systems.

Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) It is universally compatible with every mainstream derailleur including SRAM's unique Transmission system. The weakness of the system is that the hanger is aluminum and will get destroyed repeatedly. It is replaceable but you must ride with spare parts.

For exhaustive details visit our dropout page.

Seat Stay Design

This is a no charge option. Choose either Moto or Inline style stays.

Moto Seat Stays

These are our most popular seat stay design for gravel bikes. In our Rider-Ready series, Motos provide the smoothest ride possible without sacrificing drivetrain stiffness.

moto seat stays
Moto seat stays are our most popular.
Inline Seat Stays

These are our classic s-bend stays that that are the standard by which other stays are judged. Choose Inline stays you want a more traditional aesthetic.

inline seat stays
Inline seat stays provide a more subtle aesthetic.

Upgrades Available

Third bottle mount under down tube

Most bikes have one or two water bottle mounts. You can include a third bottle mount on your Seven if you'd like.

This is a no charge option.

Fender mounts

Our fender mounts include one on each dropout, a chainstay bridge mount, and a seat stay bridge mount that is oriented at 90 degrees to the hub. This is optimized for 99% of all performance fender systems.

Travel couplers for easy luggage packing

If you travel with your bike, or want to travel with your bike, more than once a year, it may be worth investing in our coupler upgrade. Read all the details and benefits.

This upgrade is $1,995.

Etched Graphics

The price for etched graphics is $250. Most of our graphic options are no charge. Etched graphics are time-consuming. But they look great.

Check out all of our graphic options for this frameset.

Housing & Cable Routing Options

We offer external cable routing for our bikepacking bikes. We don't offer internal routing of any kind because it's not well suited to the self-sufficiency and durability that bikepacking benefits from.
