Hi\u00a07 team,<\/em><\/p>\n

I bought my Seven Verve mountain frame back in ’03, and it has been a faithful ride. The first year I bought it I took it out to Moab to break it in…. On the drive to Moab\u00a0I photographed the “7” head badge hanging from my rear view mirror and sent it to you. <\/em><\/p>\n

Here is another image on the same topic\u00a0– \u00a0taken many years later.\u00a0 The scene is looking out the windscreen of my Land Rover Defender over a dry and harsh mountainscape at a little over 11,000 ft in elevation. The image was taken\u00a0in\u00a0the White Mountains east of the Sierra Nevada. When you spend a week or so between 11,000 and 13,000 ft even the\u00a0air molecules\u00a0in the mineral oil\u00a0filled compass precipitated out of the oil solution to form an air bubble.\u00a0\u00a0 The “7” frame performs flawlessly at high altitudes!!!<\/em><\/p>\n
