Whoa. That colorway is killer. Love using the climbing switches that way, although the xtr display is a bit much.

Want those wheels...

[Mike V]

NOPE!

Stem angle, wheels, derailleur pulleys, bottle cages, 22 tires.

I like it. The owner supports the low-volume industry.

Additionally, this is one of the few custom bikes in this world I still have interest in. I like that it can be built to recall the 1980s early carbon bikes with aluminum lugs like Alan and Vitus and TVT and Look and Peugeot frames. Those were aspirational bikes for this 1980s bike racer. I loved the aesthetic very much. I’d love one of these 622 SLXs, with a level top tube, possibly built up with a Campagnolo EPS groupset.

You have great taste ! Yea I'd like it very much if my Seven 622 had a level TT and Campy EPS, but Im pretty happy as it is.

Wow, very sweet!

But kills me the orange height adjustment sticker was left on the FD cage. Funny!

Killer bike, thanks for sharing

That bike looks absolutely amazing - but I hate the wheels.

[AJosiahK]

wow. amazing build... I feel the vibe against those wheels but I think they help set this bike apart from the rest

anyone have experience riding such hoops?

[Matthew]

Love the frameset, not loving the wheels. Not real big on the wagon wheel pulley either.

[YoKev]

Cool, but for my tastes, the cockpit is a bit busy and for all the effort of a photo shoot, they left torn sticker residue on the rear wheel where the lower chain crosses the rim. Come on! :)

That is not an ugly Seven, and it also doesn't have the huge headtube that Seven seems to always spec.

Due to the fact that they are more concerned with fitting the rider than just looking like a pro-race bike.

I can appreciate the look of the painted lugs, but would have much rather seen it like yours Karl with the Ti raw lugs.

It's good to know that Seven is the #1 builder for people with askew proportions, just as Zinn is the #1 builder for tall folks.

The older I get, the more I love the large headtube...May look odd but my body appreciates it on long rides. Comfort over looks for this old man!That is not an ugly Seven, and it also doesn't have the huge headtube that Seven seems to always spec.

Thx

This bike does look pretty cool and fast just sitting there.

Check out bike photos on Tom Kellogg’s Spectrum site. You will see a lot of frames with tall HTs. Tom surely knows how to fit a person to a bike. Once you have a seat height and figure out where the bars need to be for a proper fit, you just connect the dots. Often that means tall head tubes or lots of spacers or positive rise stems. I think a taller HT is the best option. Far too many just want to look like a pro and slam the stem and then spend all their time on the hoods.
