The O List—The Best Road Bike

Outside Magazine

Outside magazine's October issue is out and features "The O List"—120 things, places, and experiences that the Outside writers and scouts in the field consider to be the best. Seven Cycles is proud and honored to announce that Outside has chosen our Odonata as The Best Road Bike. Here's what they had to say about it.

The Best Road Bike

"The Seven Cycles Odonata frame weighs an astonishing 2.5 pounds�it's the lightest frame commercially produced�and is lovingly handcrafted from the finest carbon fiber and titanium available. The butted titanium frame enhances power transfer for sprinting and climbing, while the carbon seat tube and seat stays damp vibration for epic but comfy double centuries or, if you become as good as your bike, Tour Stages. Moreover, the entire frameset is finished with da Vinciesque artistry (the peloton will drool over the Seven's exquisite carbon fork and lustrous finish). The complete rig weighs 17 pounds. Don't argue. There is no nicer road bike in the world."
