Options such as cable routing, water-bottle mounts, paint color, and decal color at no additional charge make the offerings unique. Seven selects the right tube diameter and wall thickness to suit a rider&#8217;s weight, age, and riding terrain, and builds every frame to order. Reaming, chasing, machining, welding, finishing, and painting are done under one roof. All this explains why Seven bikes are not cheap; even the Seven Parcour S, a beautiful fixed-gear commuter bike with Integrity straight-gauge titanium framing and handlebars, carbon fork, fenders, track dropouts and special sandblasted decals, comes with a heavy price tag. It won&#8217;t rust, even if you leave it outside all year long. A Brooks saddle, Mavic 26-in or 29-in wheels, Michelin tires, and SRAM Omnium cranks are other options.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zahid Sardar Seven Cycles founder Rob Vandermark and his team have been making custom-butted and straight-gauge seamless titanium bike frames, alongside high-modulus carbon-fiber, filament-wound carbon fiber, and steel road, track, mountain, and tandem frames in Massachusetts since 1997.
