U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix

First in Our Hearts

Couldn’t be more proud of Seven pro Kelly Catale, 10th at Mountain Bike Nationals this weekend. For an athlete who works full-time and trains at sea level to travel to altitude and put on that kind of performance in the biggest race of the year is beyond what we ever could have imagined. We feel very lucky to work with her. #KellCat

Titanium Pioneer – Stanley Abkowitz

Stan Abkowitz

We didn’t know Stanley Abkowitz, though he lived locally. Few of our neighbors, in fact, could have had as enormous an impact on what we do as Mr. Abkowitz.

Working at the Watertown Arsenal in the 1950’s, just across the road from the Seven factory, he invented the 6Al-4V alloy of titanium that we use in many of our dropouts. Later he would write the seminal Titanium in Industry, and devote nearly six decades to advanced metallurgy.

We are sorry not to have known him, and are grateful for his life’s work. He recently passed away at the age of 90.
