Please fill out this form if you are ordering a mountain frame. This involves measuring yourself and your current bike, and answering some questions about your new frame and your riding habits. To build the best frame for you, we must receive answers to all the questions in the Custom Kit. Your accuracy is essential for us to build the best frame for you. Some of our measurement requests are unusual, so please read each section thoroughly. You will need a pencil, a tape measure, and a book with a binding of about 1 1/2" (3.5cm). Take all requested measurements 2-3 times to create an average. Record measurements in centimeters or inches.

Should you wish to develop your own frame geometry, contact Seven and we'll provide you with Frame Specification tables to make calculating your custom geometry easier.

For custom tandem ordering information, please e-mail us.

Important: Your order must be initiated by an authorized Seven Cycles retailer! For the name of the retailer nearest you, please call or e-mail us.

3: Inseam
Remaining in the Height stance, hold a book with a 1 1/2" (3.5cm) binding so the binding is pressed hard against your crotch—like a saddle, and the bottom of the book is against the wall. Measure from the ground to the top edge of the binding.

In stocking or bare feet, in the seated position, measure both the left and right lower legs from the top of your kneecap to the floor.

Your Seven Mountain Components

(available for Aheadset™ steerer only)

Yes   No

Do you know what stem specifications you would like?
(If you prefer, Seven can help you with your choice)

Length:   Angle:

Stiffness:
S1 Lightweight   S2 Standard   S3 Clydesdale

The Lightweight S1 is recommended for riders weighing less than 130 lbs., as well as for cyclists looking for a comfortable, forgiving ride. It's also an appropriate choice when a short stem—90 mm or less—is necessary. The Standard S2 offers stiffness very similar to that of a forged aluminum stem, yet offers improved damping characteristics for superior comfort. The S2 is suitable for the majority of riders. The Clydesdale S3 will benefit larger riders most, typically those over 200 lbs. This model is also appropriate when frame geometry dictates a long stem—one over 140 mm.
