SEVEN - TITANIUM HEAVEN


We have been selling amazing bikes from some of the best manufacturers in the world since 1996 - during that time the urge for a  titanium option has been filled by American brands such as Merlin and Litespeed, so when these brands went through a corparate supply convulsion that led to their distribution demise in the UK we had a decision to make.

  1. Walk away from Titanium. 
  2. Comprimise and take the easy route by selling Chinese or Russian Ti product with low (relatively) prices and correspondindly low prestige. 
  3. Or aim for the the top and self import the best product that was available. 
Well we aren't scared and over the last few years we have been quietly forging a relationship with Seven Cycles - Seven have history and pedigree that go way back beyond their 1997 creation date. Rob Vandermark, Seven's founder, was the former head of R&D at Merlin.

So why Seven? - well it's easy really - we already sell 'off the shelf' bikes from the top manufacturer's and brands in the world. Seven give us the facility to offer totally bespoke, individually hand crafted and tailor made Titanium, Carbon and Steel bikes with virtually limitless options for customising to your needs. Anything you want is fine - fed up with press fit bottom bracket options and the vagueries of headset choice - stuff it have King Headset, threaded BB and rest assured that it will last the life of the bike. Ever fancied hidden rack mounts on a race bike? Or the option to have sliding dropouts in order to accomadate single speed 650b or twenty nine'r wheels on the same frame - do it. We have.

Check them out here - and watch this space - we have got a demo Axiom SLX on the way -!!!
