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
Dan Cariolo finalizing the last details on a frame he’s built. Thirty machines all to himself.
Respirators. Disinfecting schedule. Three shifts for full employee isolation.
We’re still here, building all the bikes.
Be safe. Ride if you can.
Introducing KellCruis SL
Well, it’s not really supposed to go like this, or maybe you hope it does, but you think you probably have more time than you end up having.
But we built a new race bike last week, and then before we could post about it being done, it won a race.
Kelly Catale did it again at Orchard Cross Cyclocross Race
Introducing the KellCruis SL, a radical departure from your everyday cyclocross racer. What we’ve done here is take our Mudhoney CX platform and pushed it forward to its logical conclusion, something entirely new, akin to the way our Scrambler bikes took the gravel category forward.
