Seven at (Unofficial) Gravel Worlds

Gravel Worlds road sign

There is no UCI sanctioned gravel World Championship, but a hearty bunch of riders in Lincoln, Nebraska put on an event every year that stands in, a sort of not-all-the-way serious race that gets pretty serious and attracts a lot of fast riders.

One of those fast folks is Kae, for whom we built an Evergreen SL with our buddy Bob at Wheel Werks Custom Cycles in Crystal Lake, IL. Kae won the Open Women’s category and pulled on the striped jersey.

Here are some photos and a note from Kae:

Kae says:

Bob,

We were in Lincoln NE to compete in the (unofficial) Gravel Worlds Championship.

Rode with different packs, battled with high wind alone, crushed (and got crushed by) relentless hills (it’s not flat in NE!). After 9 hours of saddle time, I achieved my goal – the worlds jersey with champion stripes!! 

For overall (men/women all categories included) 19th out of 300+.

My Seven really made a difference. Thank you SO much for your expert assembly and attention to details. No mechanical whatsoever, I am so comfortable on the bike, up, down or flat or HARD riding. 

It’s done quite a few unpaved rides/races this year so far (KS, NE, UP Michigan, WV, PA) and more are to come. I have lots of stories to tell you …. including a HUGE moose encounter.

Hope to see you soon!  

Kae

Steve’s Sola SL

This is Steve’s Sola SL, spec’d and delivered by our buddy Chris at Robinson Wheel Works in San Leandro, CA. Steve has already, evidently, taken it where it’s supposed to go. His kind words below…

Hey Guys,

I finally picked up my Seven.

Thanks for helping walk me through getting my Sola SL.  You guys are awesome. Chris at RWW is truly the King.

I can only summarize in two words. Bad ass.

It fits perfect and the ride is … What can I say.  Perfect.

Best Regards,

Steve

Ted’s Axiom SL

This is Ted’s matte black and bare Ti Axiom SL with disc brakes and Mavic Ksyrium AllRoad Disc wheels. We built this one with the good folks at Get-a-Grip Cycles in Chicago.

Ted says:

Just a note to say, I just had my first long ride out here and I LOVE my SEVEN!

Incredibly comfortable and amazing in the descents.  I’m no longer terrified going downhill!

Happy, happy customer.

Joanne’s Evergreen SL

Here is Joanne’s Evergreen SL. We built it with our good friends at Bespoke Cycles in San Francisco. This one is painted Super Hero Blue, with some Gloss Black, and Platinum accents, as well as a bare Ti rear end.

Loving the new Evergreen SL.  Felt spot-on right away.  Looking forward to adding gravel and dirt to my adventures.

Recent Builds from Cyclefit UK

Most bike shops can put a bike together, but a fine few have the vision, knowledge, and discerning eye to build great bikes. Our friends at Cyclefit UK (Covent Garden, London and Manchester’s Northern Quarter) are just such an operation, and here are two recent builds to illustrate our point.

First we have Johannes’ Sola SL 29er, which I’m sure you’ll agree, is beautifully proportioned, well appointed, and aesthetically striking, with bead-blasted “decaling,” a Ti seatpost and wide/short cockpit.

Next we offer Richard’s Evergreen SLX. Richard has gone for the low-profile blasted decal as well, with no wheel decals, a low, clean fender line and an eTap drive train. There’s likely not a more elegant bike in London.
