In April 2002, the cable Outdoor Life Network (OLN) tested Seven’s Axiom titanium road bike on a special high–end edition of their product review program, Gear Guide. The testers were a seasoned and discerning group of former professional road racers: Olympic medallist and two–time Tour de France stage winner Davis Phinny; former 7–Eleven and Motorola team member Bob Roll; and former U.S. National team member and technical writer for Velo News, Lennard Zinn. Here’s what they had to say about the Axiom:
“The ride [of the Axiom] is fine silk; the response is immediate. This was the bike I wanted to keep going on all day. The Axiom fits into the category of perhaps the last bike you’ll ever own.”
— Davis Phinney
“The Axiom is a feast for the senses. The beautifully shaped stays and perfect welds will delight your friends and exasperate your rivals. The Axiom offers the broadest range of ride characteristics and is the most versatile high–end road bike available, custom tailored to your slightest whim.”
— Bob Roll
“The Axiom is the lightest bike I’ve ever ridden that fits me. It’s classy looking, and the ride is rock solid; it’s comfortable; yet very responsive.”
— Lennard Zinn
From all of us at Seven Cycles, thanks to OLN and Davis, Bob, and Lennard for their kind praise.
