Next project - a new-to-me near NOS 2018 Seven 622 SLX.

It takes the general fit parameters from my recent 56cm Mxxxxxo, but lengthens the front center a bit. The extra tire clearance is an unexpected bonus for the type of riding I'm envisioning for this one.

73-STA, 73.5-HTA. 583-TT. 515-ST (ctc). 15.2-HT. 68-Drop. 41.7-CS. 59.6-FC.

Shown w a 130mm stem and my saddle at normal 83cm - drop is ~10cm and I have room to go down a bit - and -12x120 may get it just right with one above and one below.

I'm very curious what the Seven build sheet specs would be on their 1-10 scale for handling, rigidity, etc.

Waiting on a few parts, but it may be road-ready by this weekend.

It's not my fault the used market keeps offering up crazy good deals..... This one happened to have all the geo details posted and looked like it'd be a great fit. And it came along just as I was admitting to myself that the Pegoretti I was enjoying was truly a size too small. I put in a no-way-they'll-take-it bid at a cafe stop (on my Peg). And here we are. It's in pretty immaculate condition and was perfectly packed. Now to see how I like the ride.

dude I love that colorway


btw, I have an almost complete campy 10 speed groupset (Record shifters, Record RD, Centaur FD, Record brakeset). Its almost complete because I think I want to keep the carbon crank which I think is Athena. My buddy left me a bunch of campy parts and told me to keep what I want and sell the rest. Of course I want to keep it all but he is moving to LA which is an expensive move so I want to get him some money. So if that sounds like something you would like to build the bike with let me know. Would be sweeeet on the merckx (even though I am thinking you will go DT shifters)

Always wanted to try one of these out! Love the look and imagine they ride wonderfully. Interested in your thoughts once you get it built up!

Have admired Stinner frames for a while, and particularly like the clean, modern aesthetics. Very cool frame and colorway. Super versatile, and I bet it’s pretty comfortable too. Would love to see the complete build!

Got my bike back! Sold it to a coworker a year ago, he moved across the country, so I bought it back. Reunited!
