U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
We offer more bike categories and subcategories than any other builder — over 50 distinct bike categories. That sounds overwhelming. Fortunately, you're probably interested in just one or two categories — like gravel or allroads. This whittles down the choices to about ten or so distinct frame models; still far more relevant and compelling bike options than anyone could desire.
| "My new Seven is another world. It defies all possible logic, until you ride it. Unreal." — David F. |
Seven has hundreds of kit combinations that cover all price points from about $6,700 and up.
There's not much we don't do. The list includes: No electric assist bikes. No Rohloff, Pinion, or any other internally geared system. No tandems at this time. There are a number of specialty features we don't offer; we include that information within the categories below. Seven is not a job shop, so we don't take on projects that don't with within our fixturing systems. We don't offer features with which we've seen fatigue testing issues.
We offer two ways to get a handmade Seven.
| Bikes highlighted on a pale green background (or light gray for our partial-chromacy friends) are available as part of our Rider-Ready program. Meaning these bikes ship in about 3 weeks. Framesets ship in about 2 weeks. We have more than 30 models available in 12 to 36 sizes for perfect fit and the best ride performance you'll ever experience. |
| Highlighted on a gray background are our custom design offerings. We can build any model with just about any geometry, ride characteristics, performance type, and features you want. Custom bike lead time changes seasonally. Currently, the majority of our custom bikes take about 7 weeks to 16 weeks to design and build, depending on the model, features, and parts kit. |

"Gravel" is the broadest of all riding categories. The bike industry seems to use it as a catchall for every drop bar bike with knobby tires. That's not a very helpful definition.
Here are our pure-classic gravel bikes, mixed terrain bikes, and current Special Editions. All of our other drop bar knobby tire bikes have their own categories:
We generally define gravel and mixed terrain bikes as having these distinctions:
| Category | Gravel Riding | Mixed Terrain Riding = Dual Wheel Size Designs |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel Size | 700c exclusively | 700c and 650b compatible |
| Tire Size | Generally 700c x 38 to 53 mm with exceptions |
Generally 700c x 28 to 32 mm and 650b/27.5" x 50 mm to 3.0" |
| Gearing | Near road gearing: Typically 2x; often 50/34t or 46/33t chainrings; often 1x 42t Gear ratio range of about 1.0 to 4.5 |
Offroad gearing: Typically 1x; often 42t chainring Gear ratio range of about 0.8 to 4.2 |
| Comparative Use | Fast gravel, classic gravel terrain, maintained dirt roads | More varied terrain and usage. Some allroading, some chunky gravel, some unmaintained roads and trails |
We don't offer frame bag or bento box mounts. We do not offer internally geared bikes (like Pinion and Rohloff). For singlespeed designs, we do not build with slider dropouts; instead, we use eccentric bottom brackets. We don't offer electric assist bikes.

Seven knows travel bikes. We've been designing and building travel optimized bikes with BTC couplers for more than two decade. We're pretty confident that we've built more titanium coupled bikes any any other company. The tally is in the thousands.
For a significant portion of our team, coupled bikes are our daily drivers — when we're not traveling to distant shores. When we are on distant shores, (on the flowing singletrack near lake Taupo, New Zealand or along the frozen lakes of Idaho in winter), we've done just about everything with coupled bikes.
Just about any Seven can be a travel bike while maintaining all of the performance for whatever category of riding you do. Learn all about our unique travel bike system.
Never leave your bike home alone again.
Only a few models are not compatible with our coupled travel design: Dual suspension models, Fat bikes, and frames with the FlowState seat stay upgrades.
See the category offerings for details. The primary features we don't offer include: No internally geared bikes (like Pinion and Rohloff). We don't offer frame bag or bento box mounts. For singlespeed designs, we do not build with slider dropouts; instead, we use eccentric bottom brackets. We don't offer electric assist bikes.

Seven's Mobius suspension bike line covers everything from World Cup competing XCO models to dual suspension plus tire bikes and everything in between. Review our model definitions below. Or, visit our suspension bike landing page.
Our suspension system is perfect for many uses. However, it is not designed for 140 mm suspension frame travel. We don't build trail, enduro, or downhill bikes. No bikepacking dual suspension bikes. No gravel bike suspension frames. Our suspension system is not compatible with front derailleurs. We do not offer internally geared bikes (like Pinion and Rohloff). No singlespeed or belt drive suspension. We do not build travel optimized dual suspension designs.
Seven's BCS Suspension System is one of the most sophisticated suspension designs available —with the results to back it up. Race winning design: Seven's suspension has been raced by USA team members at multiple national and world championships over the past few years. Experience: We've built thousands of individualized suspension bikes over the past 26 years. Seven's founding team were all mountain bike racers back in the day.
Here are the basic parameters of how we define our Rider-Ready suspension models. We can blend these attributes together in our custom program. Regarding wheel size, pick either 29" or 27.5" (but not both on one bike). If you're not sure which wheel size is best for you, use our wheel size chooser.
| Category | XCO Race | Cross Country | Downcountry | Adventure | Plus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mission | Racing and pure performance; acceleration, quick handling | Technical riding; Punchy climbs and rocky descents; "East Coast" and "Midwest" riding | Stability; long flowy descents and climbs; "West Coast" and "Rocky Mountains" riding | Long all-day rides, stable, tough, worry-free | Riding unknown territory; ready for anything |
| Wheel size options | 29" or 27.5" | 27.5" (or 29") |
|||
| Tire size, popular | 2.3" | 2.4" | 2.6" | 3.0" | |
| Frame suspension travel | 100 mm | 120 mm | 100 mm (or 120 mm) |
||
| Fork suspension travel | 100 mm (or 120 mm) |
120 mm | 130 mm (or 140) |
140 mm | 120 mm (or 100 mm) |
| Primary function of suspension | Traction & precision control over comfort | Control and comfort in equal parts | Comfort over tight control | Comfort; tire size provides control. | |
Downcountry geometry is progressive with stable handling. It is better for long, less technical climbs and descents. Cross Country geometry is contemporary with quicker race-centric handling.
If you're not sure which design is better for your type of riding, choose cross country rather than downcountry. You cannot go wrong with Seven's multipurpose XC geometry.
| Attribute | Cross Country | Downcountry |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Handling | Quicker handling | More stable handling |
| Optimal Terrain & Surface | Technical, rocky, rooty | Gravel, fire roads, flow |
| Climbing | Short, steep, punchy climbs | Long steady climbs |
| Descending | Short, steep, technical descents | Long, fast, flowing switchbacks |
| Speed | Twisty, turny speed | Straight line speed |
| Technical Trails | Lives for this | Prefers swoopy flowy terrain |
| Frameset Geometry | Contemporary: Shorter wheelbase, steeper head tube angle, classic rider center of gravity. "East Coast" riding. | Progressive: Slacker head tube angle, longer wheelbase, steeper seat tube angle, center of gravity biased over rear wheel; lighter front end. "West Coast" and "Rocky Mountain" riding. |
Speed, acceleration, drivetrain stiffness, and quick handling above all. XCO means Cross Country Olympic racing of about 90 minutes on varied terrain.
XCO suspension is used for control and traction rather than comfort.

Seven's founding team was racing mountain bikes back in the 80's, a decade before Seven was a twinkle in anyone's eye. The first bikes Seven built were mountain bikes. The first bikes our founders built and raced were all mountain bikes. Seven's debut, more than 25 years ago was at the Cactus Cup mountain bike race in Arizona. We were all mountain bikes all the time.
Seven mountain bikes have been ridden to numerous championship gold medals including at Worlds and Nationals. Sevens have been raced at the Olympics and countless other world stage events.
Nearing four decades of mountain bike design and fabrication experience, we think we've learned what it takes to build the perfect mountain bike.
Seven's Sola hardtail mountain bike line covers everything from World Cup competing XCO models to adventure plus tire bikes and everything in between.
Here are the basic parameters of how we define our Rider-Ready suspension models. We can blend these attributes together in our custom program. Regarding wheel size, pick either 29" or 27.5" (but not both on one bike). If you're not sure which wheel size is best for you, use our wheel size chooser.

Seven's founders started building randonnée bikes in the 1990s. A formative experience during that time was building Rob Kish's 1995 RAAM winning bike. Since that moment, Seven's founding team has built rando bikes for all distances and accomplishments. Whether that's designing bikes for Paris-Brest-Paris record holders or to help someone get a personal best on their favorite fléche, Seven' knows that every randonnée can be transformative for its participants. The equipment should not hold the rider back.
Rando riding is a unique sport and requires subtle and important adjustments to frame geometry, tubeset, and components in order to go farther faster. Our palmeres shows that we know how to apply our three decades of randonnée bike knowledge to every new design and build.
"Randonnée" is a broad and diverse set of riding styles. To that end, we build road randonnée bikes for events from 200k to 1,200k rides like Paris-Brest-Paris. On the other end of the spectrum we build gravel-centric Randonnée machines for long distances with the addition of rough terrain or unknown territory.
Typical design hallmarks: About 22 lbs carry weight[3]. Fender/mudgaurd mounts, light mounts. Stability and self sufficiency.

Over the past twenty years, Seven riders have won multiple gold medals at the national and world championship level. At times during the fall, it feels like most of our employees are away at some cross race every other week!
Some of us choose cyclocross first, ahead of any other riding. Some of us were racing cross in the late 80s, back before there was a national championship. (Otherwise we definitely would have won it :p) The point is, we love cross and at times we eat, sleep, and dream cross. You'd be hard pressed to find a more passionate group of framebuilders for your next cross-specific bike.
This is a large category for Seven. We offer a broader range of cyclocross-specific bikes than any other builder we know of.

Seven knows touring. We've been designing and building touring bikes for more than 25 years. We're pretty confident that we've built more titanium touring bikes any any other company.
Some of us at Seven have been touring since the 80s. We've traveled all over the world on self-sufficient rides of all kinds. Sometimes a few days at a time, sometimes for a few weeks with a tent and a can opener.
Our unique experience determines what we do and don't offer in our touring category. We focus on durability, proven designs, and self-sufficiency. If those attributes are what you value in touring, read on.
Touring bike design hallmarks: Racks and fenders; sometimes light mounts. Optimized for pavement riding and are adept on well maintained dirt roads. Geometry and tubeset optimized for multiday comfort and stability with 30 to 45 lbs. of cargo.

We've been bikepacking so long that we used to have to make our own racks, cassettes, derailleur protectors, and more back before offroad touring had a name. If we could only do one kind of riding for the rest of our days, for some Seveneers, it would be bikepacking.
Our three decades of offroad touring experience determines what we do and don't offer in our bikepacking category. We focus on durability, capability, personalization, and self-sufficiency. If those attributes are what you value in bikepacking, lets work together on our dream bikepacking project.
Bikepacking is like offroad touring. The category includes gravel bikes, fat tire bikes, and everything in between. We define bikepacking as any bike that is to carry 30 lbs[3] or more, and primarily rides in the dirt. Optimized for many miles over multiple days. We design these bikes for comfort, utility, durability, and self-sufficiency. Most bikepacking bikes include rack mounts and third bottle mounts. Some have fender mounts and generator light wiring.
Ultralight: From 22 to 30 lbs. Optimized for 30 lbs. of gear.
Loaded: From 31 to 45 lbs. Optimized for 45 lbs. of gear.
These bikes are very capable when unloaded but their primary purpose is multiday bikepacking on trails and dirt.

Downcountry geometry is progressive with stable handling. It is better for long, less technical climbs and descents. It is more stable in snow and sand. Performance geometry is contemporary with mountain bike like handling.
If you're not sure which design is better for your type of riding, choose performance rather than downcountry. You cannot go wrong with Seven's multipurpose performance geometry.
| Attribute | Performance | Downcountry |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Handling | Quicker handling | More stable handling |
| Optimal Terrain & Surface | Technical, rocky, rooty, primitive trails, singletrack | Flowing, smooth, gravel, fire roads, groomed snow, firm sand |

Some of us Seveneers are obsessed with fat biking and what a light, high-performance five-inch tire do on any terrain — in each of the four seasons! A performance fat bike is a completely different ride from a typical budget "winter training fat bike."
Then there's bikepacking on a fat bike which provides us confidence to take on any unknown terrain or route.
Our framebuilding experience and passion for fat biking determine what we do and don't offer in our fat category. We focus on durability, component future-proofing, and performance.
A fat bike is the single most capable bike you can own. Many of Seven's designs can handle three types of wheelsets from 29 x 2.0" mountain bike tires, 27.5" plus tires, and up to 26 x 5.0" fat tires and everything in between.
| Usage | Typical Carry Weight[3] | Typical Ride Time |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Fat | 15 lbs. optimal[3] | 2-6 hours |
| Downcountry Fat (What is downcountry?) |
3-8 hours | |
| Performance Fat Triple Wheelset | 2 hours to all-day | |
| Ultralight Fat Bikepacking | 30 lbs. maximum[3] | Days |
| Loaded Fat Bikepacking | 45 lbs. maximum[3] | Weeks |

Airline travel upgrade NOT available: Fat bikes are not compatible with Seven's airline travel upgrade. The rear end of fat bikes, along with the extra wide rims and tires make the upgrade unmanageable. If you'd like a Seven optimzied for airline travel, check out our options.
We don't offer frame bag or bento box mounts. We do not offer internally geared bikes (like Pinion and Rohloff). For singlespeed designs, we do not build with slider dropouts; instead, we use eccentric bottom brackets. No electric assist bikes.
Typical wheel system options: 26" x 4.6" to 5.0" or 27.5" x 4.0" to 4.5". Also available with double or triple wheel systems.
