Rider weight limit recommendations

Seven's Rider Ready designs for the Lion of Spring have size specific tubesets. That allows us to match the optimal rider weight to the actual size of the bike. Seven's tubeset tailoring techniques include using numerous tube diameters and many butting profiles as frame sizes change.

Seven's rider weight limit recommendation is intended for optimal ride performance. If you, your gear, your hydration system, your saddle bag, etc., combined weigh more than recommended, the bike's performance will be hindered. However, in most cases, the bike will still handle and perform, better than any stock bike.

Our frame weight limit is for the frame alone. Not all the components we've chosen for this build have a weight limit rating as high as our frames. Check each manufacturer's specifications for safety recommendations and warranty.

1. Top tube length is effective; measured from the centerline of the head tube and top tube intersection measured horizontally back to the seat tube centerline.
2. "Rider weight" includes all on bike clothing, equipment, tools, hydration, food, saddle bag, and any other things that weigh something.

Tubeset design and aesthetics

The Rider Ready designs for the Lion of Spring have size specific tubesets. Therefore, it is difficult to provide generalized tubeset specifications beyond the following.

• Chainstays:
• Diameter: 1" oversized for maximum stiffness
• Profile: Inline, s-bend
• Symmetric: Yes
• Dropout interface: Inboard scallop
• Seat stays:
• Diameter: Size specific
• Profile: Inline, s-bend for maximum stiffness
• Symmetric: Yes
• Dropout interface: Classic outboard scallop
• Dropout system: Seven's SL lightweight symmetric engraved logo design
• Rear triangle symmetry: Classic symmetric seat stays, chainstays, and dropouts.
• Head tube: Constant diameter, eccentrically butted to save weight while maintaining stiffness and durability.
