Machining Front Triangle
Dan is coping the top tube for a frame. It’s a slow focused process.
Angle accuracy to within a few minutes.
Length accuracy to within a few thousandths of an inch.
Watertown Morning Ride
Seven’s hometown is Watertown. It’s well-named because we’re nestled against the infamous Charles River in Massachusetts.
We have some beautiful views along the shaded river.
It’s good to be home.
Riding with Seven
Some of our crew got together this morning to ride before work. It was a perfect morning and the best way to start a day of framebuilding. It’s always good to remember why we build bikes — to be ridden.
Maybe we’re working on your bike today.
Framebuilding in the age of involuntary isolation

Respirators. Disinfecting schedule. Three shifts for full employee isolation.
We’re still here, building all the bikes.
Be safe. Ride if you can.
