"Ti and carbon resonate at different frequencies to isolate the rider from the long road ahead, to an almost eerie degree"

A Paris-Brest-Paris Inspired Custom Seven 622XX

If you had to draw up a short list of the perfect bike to ride 1200 km in 60-80 hours, then in all that is holy, surely Seven's magnificent custom-made 622XX would be be right up at the sharp end?

Well that was certainly in our client Phil's mind when he weighed up all the factors and criteria that surrounds the extensive training, preparation and participation in the world's oldest ultra-distance cycling event.

Phil's Thinking

The reasoning is sound:

  • Seven are the world's leading titanium cyclo-engineering company, led by ex-Merlin guru, Rob Vandermark
  • Seven are rarely the glitziest bikes in the world there is so much that Rob simply refuses to do to the dull grey material that he venerates so highly. Sometimes it drives us crazy, but ultimately our mantra is: 'In Rob we trust' - when it comes to titanium
  • A custom designed bike from Cyclefit ensures perfect fit for efficiency and comfort
  • Phil already has a rim-brake 622 - it is a well proven concept
  • Mixing carbon and ti together adds more to the ride than it adds in stiffness or saves in weight over an all ti bike.

What our clients say

  • "I have been able to ride every day since the fit. So far I have had no pain which feels like a miracle!"

    Neilson Powless

    Professional Cyclist - Education First - Easypost

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

  • "I have a lot of trust in you guys and I know how you work so I think we could do something good. Orthotics feeling good."

    Tom Pidcock

    World and Olympic champion, Ineos Grenadiers.

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."

    Matt H

    Seven Evergreen SL

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"
