Small groups rotated around the facility between the office and the production area to watch demonstrations and listen to clinics. Retailers found themselves immersed in topics ranging from Seven\u2019s A6 Carbon Frame Durability to the Five Elements of the Ideal Bike with an opportunity to see what Seven is doing up close.<\/p>\n<p>If you were not able to attend, here are a few examples of what we covered in more than 80 clinics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seven\u2019s Limited Edition &amp; Special Edition &amp; RSD<\/li>\n<li>Seven\u2019s Five Elements of the Ideal Bike<\/li>\n<li>Seven\u2019s A6 Frame Durability<\/li>\n<li>Aerodynamics Is Not Speed, \u201cDesign for Speed\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Paint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/080915_factory_immersion_b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5019\" src=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/080915_factory_immersion_b.jpg\" alt=\"Stef guides a group at the factory immersion event\" width=\"760\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/080915_factory_immersion_b.jpg 760w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/080915_factory_immersion_b-400x105.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sevencycles.com\/7\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/080915_factory_immersion_b-300x79.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;\u2026the essence of the reasons we are so committed to the relationship we have with Seven, is the holistic way in which they view the experience of the work that they do. Like HubBub, every customer for whom Seven builds a frame is unique\u2014&#8221;real&#8221;\u2014not just a name on the order form or a series of numbers in a drawing. I became aware that each retailer has a unique relationship with Seven\u2014including the way they order their products from Seven. And to their credit, Seven is able to bend and yield to the idiosyncrasies of a lot of different retailers. In fact, the willingness of Seven\u2019s staff from Rob Vandermark\u2019s introduction to Tanya Mayther\u2019s shipping clinic, made us each of us feel important to the company. It was evident in everything we experienced these two days, from their physical plant to the food they served.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Diane, HubBub in Ohio<\/p><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a valuable two days with the generation of many great discussions and ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven Cycles held its first Factory Immersion Event at its Watertown, Massachusetts location on September 8 and 9.
