U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
Our friend Sam from Cycle Boutique Thailand wanted a fighter plane theme for his Airheart, so he asked our designers to come up with something special. After a few design iterations, we had something he was happy with. There are a LOT of cool details on this one, including some distressing, faux rust and rivet details on the metallic section. Check out the photos below.
A (much) younger Rob V with Seven #1, the steel Rex he raced once or twice. He can’t remember.
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.
Terry is a co-owner of Seattle’s Cascade Bicycle Studio. This is Terry’s new Resolute SLX. The custom paint scheme is designed by a good friend of the shop’s, Derek Blagg.
Terry says:
I wanted to keep a steel bike in my quiver as I really like the feel of a steel bike. The bike was designed to be road bike ready for fenders. As the project and the paint evolved I realized that steel bikes are really where my passion for bikes is. I truly believe a steel bike can ride beyond the expectations of any material. Now the bike is MY ROAD BIKE and might see fenders for a few months a year while my Mudhoney SL is devoted to cross season.
Can you please let everyone involved with my new bike it is the most wonderful bike I have ever owned. There is no reason in the world not to ride a Seven. You get just what you want. The welds and paint are so perfect. Thank you.
