My Campy Record equipped Seven Axiom

[slo town]

Hello:

Just a few pictures of one of my road bikes, this one my 1999 titanium Seven. All my bikes are full custom framesets because of size and handling preferences. Take a close look at the welds and mechanical details. Super sexy stuff IMO!

Thank you. And, wow, a cycling scholarship. Very, very rare. I'm impressed. Road, mountain, cross, or track?

That's a nice looking bike

 

[beanoil]

Wow. If a bike can be sexy, that one is a Victoria Secrets model. Everything about that thing looks awesome.

I like the first pic the most.. The Titanium looks so good.

I have 3 bikes myself, none that pretty though.

Thanks Guys!

My wife calls the Seven my "titanium mistress".

I'll post some pictures of my 1994 Saso (not to be confused with "Salsa"). Only 400 or 500 Saso frames were ever built; meticulously hand built by just one guy - Dale Saso. This frame is a spectacular fillet brazed beauty using a Tange Prestige/Ultimate tubeset. The finishing of the fillets is absolutely perfect.

My wife calls the Saso my "steel mistress". I've ridden "her" over 35K miles!

That SEVEN is beautiful. And that's from a MTB guy(Specialized Stumpy FSR XC). I'd love to see pics of the SASO.

Cycle porn. That makes my 2002 LeMond Maillot Jaune with Dura Ace want to hide in the garage.

Nice Bike. Best welds I ever seen.

NICE!!

(It's a work of FINE art!)

I have an older Record 10 equipped, Sommerville, Mass. built, 2000 Merlin Road, also with King headset and Speedplay 'lollipops'.

IF I ever 'upgrade' (

?) to a carbon framed bike, I want Seven to custom build one for me right here in the USA.

He raced Road in the Spring and Cross Country (Mtn) in the Fall.....for Lindsey Wilson College. Small school, but Div. 1 in cycling.

Do any schools here in the US actually give scholarships for TRACK cycling ONLY, as unknown/unpopular as that form of the sport is??

Very nice.

I have an old Raleigh, not sure on the year but I got it back in 1984 from a guy I was in the dorms with while in the Air Force. It has served me well and I have at least accomplished a century on it. Now working back up to another century some time in my future.

I'm also in thinking of riding in the Assault on Mt. Mitchell It is supposed to be one of the best rides on the east coast.

That ride looks like a fantastic event, exactly the type of racing/riding I enjoy. Check out the 2015 male finishing times for the top 3 riders. Not only was their average speed nearly 20MPH, the top three finished within 1 second of each other. And let me assure you, these guys were not finishing in a friendly group targeting the same time. They were gunning it out to the very end. I love competition like this!!!!!!!!!!!

PS, a bit of a ramble, but on one monstrous sprint over a mountain summit my heart rate monitor hit a momentary peak of 203 BPM. This was in my prime, but I was still so over the limit I remember almost peeing in my riding shorts as a crested the pass in a group sprint. No joke!
