Roger and Lori’s Axiom 007 SL
This is Lori and Roger and their new Axiom 007 SL tandem on a trip to the Smoky Mountains. We delivered this one with our buddy Chris, the Bicycle Fit Guru.
They were kind enough to send this photo and a brief note.
Dear Seven:
It is an amazing bike. We just love it!! Back, neck, shoulder and hip pain all gone. Minimal hand numbness now and no foot numbness. Good grief why did we wait so long to get a new bike? The feel of this bike is unbelievable. We are so very pleased.
We really love our new bike. Thank your working so hard on it for us.
Sincerely,
Lori and Roger
Seven in Chicago Magazine
We were fortunate to be featured in Chicago Magazine this last month, with a little help from our friends at Get-a-Grip Cycles. With a two-page spread of our (actually rider Shawn Briggs’) 622 SLX, the piece does a nice job of quickly dissecting what goes into a bike customized to the nines. Many potential riders can by put off by a price tag, without considering all the components that go into it, and the long term value you get from designing and building the right thing the first time.
Joe Cruz, the Treeline SL Early Review
Our buddy Joe is a bike-packer of some skill and repute. Regular readers will recall that we built him a Treeline SL recently, in advance of a trip to Alaska (more on that to come). Now that he’s back, we’ve received an early review of the bike that we thought worth sharing.
Hey Seven,
Though I’ve had the Treeline for over a month, I’d only ever ridden it in Alaska on frozen rivers and snowmobile trails with a full load. It was fantastic in that context, the most perfect adventure bike I’ve been on.
But tonight I joined up with our Thursday Night Mountain Bike Worlds and rode it unladen. Holy s*%t: that bike rips. I pointed it down chaotic corkscrew chunky pitches and it just carves and carves. The geo is brilliant, super fast turning but so easy to throw your hips to stand it back up it seemed like cheating. So many thanks for your hard work.
More soon,
Joe
Robert’s Axiom SL
Here’s an Axiom SL we built with our old buddy Karl at True Cyclery in New Haven, CT.

Karl just delivered my new Axiom SL. It is gorgeous! Thank you for the excellent bike. I was very concerned as you know about the aesthetics of such a big bike, but the design and workmanship was tremendous. And Karl was superb throughout the entire process. You guys made a great team.
Now, I think I feel some sort of flu coming on. I cannot imagine I am going to be able to work in the office for a full day today.
All the best.
Robert
