Sorry to complain about the [Seven Mudhoney] cross bike, but [my] major complaint is that I don't have the time to ride it 7 days a week. Today I rode 15 miles on it - awesome bike!

All I can say is, Brian and Diane on a scale from one to ten, ten being the best, I give you two a 15. Great comfort and great, confident control. I can look down at my mirror in traffic and keep going straight. Climbs well all around; [It's a] go anywhere do anything bike.

Thanks,
Denny.

P.s. A lot of people complain about price, but you know what? You get what you pay for period. If I had gone to you at the beginning I wouldn't have 4 bikes. Have a great day. Can't wait to do a long ride on it.

Hi Diane

I love the way the new bike rides. It sure smooths out a whole bunch of road harshness. My riding position sure is a lot better too. So far I have about 130 miles on it. I had hoped to ride it more but the weather and other jobs around the house have conspired against me.

I now have nearly 300 miles on my bike and it's very comfortable...no back problems at all, I think the cables have stretched a bit, but other than that everything is fine. Am I right that it's geared about as low as possible? Perhaps I need a great-granny crank?

I look forward to reading about Sunday's ride and hope it was a success. Maybe I'll come back for it next year. [Emerald Necklace]

I hope you're having a good summer!

Diane & Brian,

Sorry its taken so long to report on my experience with my new Seven bike. I am sure you are not suprised by my assessment it has been wonderful, exceeding all expectations. The only thing missing is the discreet, known only to me, electric motor that provides a little 5mph boost when needed.

There are many things I could say about my recent experience on the bike. I will limit my comments to two; one good and the other bad. The good is hills are now my friend, or at least I do not dread the prospect of encountering them and even plan routes that feature a few. The bad is my time between rides is more frustrating and disappointing. If I go a whole week without riding I start to feel a little depressed. This did not happen with my old bike. Thanks for steering me to Seven and thanks for the cap.

My first impression upon taking my new Seven out for the first time was "This is how I always imagined a bike should feel like." I had always accepted all of the little aches and pains and discomforts as part of the sport of bicycling. After all, if you want to be comfortable why not stay at home and watch T.V.? But while I could ride and stay consistent with my friends as well as alone, I always felt 'beat-up' after a ride and seemed to need more recovery time.

I had only had my Seven for a week when I did my first ever TOSRV, and bike and rider performed magnificently. This is how a bike a should feel.

You guys did a great job of getting the proper fit. They did more than just take measurements, they asked all sorts of questions about my riding that revealed to them the kind of rider I was and gave them insight into what I needed in a bike; things that I couldn't have told them otherwise.

This is how a bike should feel.
