Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New Seven on the way!!!

can I tell you how hard it is to wait for my new Seven Axiom that is being built? They said it would only take a week from when it was ordered but the suspense is killing me! I have not been able to find a good fit becasue of my short torso (and Im 5'6") so finally after two fittings had them order me up a Seven....

its so cool to look on the web site and track it...its in machining now... :-)

I'm feeling it also! I have a new scoot on the way, but it's not due until sometime in July @ best.

The clock is ticking though!!!!

I remember when I was waiting for my Airborne. It's not a Seven, obviously, but it was still a $2k bike and was (still is) by far the most expensive bike I've ever owned.

That first ride will be something you'll never forget.

Here's to many tens of thousands of happy miles for you and your new pal!

Last year, just for grins, I sent for Seven's literature package. Not that I was even fantasizing about it, but I was curious. I recommend doing this; the high-quality, expensively-printed brochure is enjoyable in its own right.

I know how you feel. I just had a custom Moots Vamoots made for me and had to wait about a month. You really want to be driven nuts here is a piece of advice, call Seven and get the tracking number of the shipment!!!! Then you can watch it make its journey to you....

Snowblower

By the way, you picked a great bike, it was my other choice if the Moots didn't work out.

Haha, I know someone who's going to jump to look out the window every time he hears a delivery truck go by, for several days straight Have fun with your new ride, and make sure to warn us before you post photos, so we can have our bibs on

Definitely post pics when you get it.

I cant stand waiting for things. Once Ive decided to pull the trigger, I want it now!

What color scheme did you go with?
