Seven Axiom XX - Painted Fork & Stem

Architects tend to love conceiving custom bikes. Garry shows us why with his flawless Seven XX

Imagined, re-imagined, weighed, considered. And then painstakingly executed. We love projects like Garry's XX

Garry's Project Seven XX

There are quite a few bikes on this gallery that we have co-authored with architect clients. It is always a reviving process. They understand the choreography of collaboration to achieve something truly original and spectacular - the bending of materials and light to express their will. They trust us to accurately express their biomechanics into an optimal CAD drawing. They trust the factory (in this case Seven) to fabricate with skill and judgement to represent their riding style and weight, in the tubing diameters butting profiles. And trust themselves to stretch aesthetic sinew in order to bring something into existence that will endure. There is no line, tone, shade or hue here, that doesn't exist for the best of all reasons. Because Garry wants it to.

What our clients say

  • "The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

    Susan

    Cyclist

  • "A very thorough, professional and personal service. I was keen to analyse my bike position after breaking my hip. The custom footbeds and alterations to my position feel really good, just wish I’d come sooner! Many thanks"

    TD

    Endurance MTB rider

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"

    Hannah Barnes

    National Champion / Professional Bike Rider

  • "Rode my standard Box Hill loop this morning with the temp shims and more thought to position. Felt more connected and compact on the bike. Fastest ride of the year, picked up close to a km/per hour despite crappy wet pot holed roads, a ton of traffic and a couple of nights out Thu/Fri."
