This Swimming Pool Blue, steel Mudhoney belongs to our good friend Mike from Richardson Bike Mart. He told us he seems to get a new cyclocross bike every year, but they’re never quite right, so he decided to go custom and get both the fit and finish he’s been missing. Mike wanted a threaded adjuster on the down tube to tension the front derailleur and full length housing to the rear derailleur to keep the mud out. We shipped this to him a few weeks ago, and he wasted no time before getting dirty.
Mike says:
Please send along my sincere thanks and gratitude for the team at Seven Cycles that helped with my Mudhoney. I rode it on Tuesday in the rain and raced it Wednesday night in a little mud. I am confident to say this is the best handling bike I have ever ridden. The steering performance and handling could not be better. The drive train is ‘race stiff’, just like I wanted. Did some standing efforts to get my 210 lbs up the short steep climbs last night and I did not feel I missed a beat with the steel frame. I love it.
