\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

We recently built new Sola 650b SLX<\/a> race bikes for Mike Broderick and Mary McConneloug and had them delivered to Germany where the pro mountain biking power couple are working their way around the World Cup circuit.<\/p>\n

The frames turned out beautifully! \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The care you all take with your work, the attention to detail and finesse is second to NONE!\u00a0 Rob – your design, is again, masterful!\u00a0 We know so many hands played a part in this project!\u00a0 Thank you guys for your artful work in planning, crafting and shipping these incredible frames to Mike and I over here in Europe!!\u00a0 Mike spent the majority of this past week carefully building the frames up at the SRAM headquarters in central Germany.\u00a0 Having access to a real shop (and not some outdoor RV camp spot) to build the bikes up was very much appreciated.\u00a0 Thanks to our awesome crew of supporting sponsors who helped with the various components – everything came together perfectly.<\/em><\/p>\n

We feel so lucky to be backed by the best in the industry and we are honored to represent you all out in the field!<\/em><\/p>\n

We got out on our first ride in the forests of Schweinfurt yesterday and instantly were both SMILING! The fit and balance of the frames are impeccable. My first impression of riding the 27.5 wheel size was the ease of acceleration.\u00a0 I could feel the relation of the pedal stroke efficiently translate my power to the smaller wheel size and it seemed easier overall to push and maintain a smooth cadence. The complete bike is also a little lighter and easier to maneuver through the tight turns of the trails…<\/em><\/p>\n

We can hardly wait to RACE our new 27.5 Solas at the World Cup in Italy this weekend!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you all again!!!

We are truly honored to represent Seven Cycles and ever grateful for your continued support of our team.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours truly,<\/em><\/p>\n
