Concept to race in one week: Mo Bruno Roy�s custom Seven Mudhoney PRO 2

Custom frame-builder Seven Cycles had a brand new custom titanium lugged carbon frame for Bob's Red Mill rider Mo Bruno Roy for her to take for its virgin ride at this weekend's NBX Gran Prix of Cyclocross. She had been riding a prototype of the mixed-materials Mudhoney this season, and the company implemented her suggestions into the next round of prototype, which went from concept to being raced in a week. "I was pretty amazed to have Rob V. show up with it Friday at 8:30PM and have Matt prep it to be ready for me to race at 1:30 Saturday," Bruno Roy told VeloNews. "I've ridden it two times so far - by racing last weekend at NBX - and immediately it feels perfect. It is the first time I will race a bike without toe overlap and I'm excited to see how it may change my riding style for the better." Bruno Roy's husband, pro mechanic and ultra-endurance cyclist Matt Roy claimed that the overarching goal was to make the bike more thoroughbred and incorporate a few of Bruno Roy's critiques into the new frame. The main issues Seven addressed were adjusting the fit based on Bruno Roy's altered riding position so that her weight stayed centered correctly, mud clearance in the chainstay and seatstay and eliminating toe overlap.
