At Seven, we adhere tightly to the philosophy that form follows function. That’s why when designing a bike, we start with its mission and work back to the frame material selection.
We believe there are no bad materials, just bad applications.
We recommend the same approach when choosing your bike. Instead of first deciding upon a frame material, consider, “What do I want from my bike? How do I ride?” Crit racing, charity rides, touring, fast club rides, randos, solo rides, mixed surface explorations, all of the above? The answer can help lead you to the right material—and it may surprise you.
