"Of all the base metals, titanium is easily the most truculent when it comes to releasing its magical properties"

Has Titanium Reached Peak-Innovation?

Titanium, like steel and aluminum is a defined material (unlike carbon fibre, which is a composite of materials). This means that titanium has pre-prescribed properties that relate to how it performs - weight, stiffness, resilience, toughness, durability etc.

Over the decades, engineers have alchemised all of the base metals to try and fractionally increase performance. The bicycle frame is the perfect microcosm test-tube of material performance, because of the inherent constraint of human power.

Of all the base metals, titanium is easily the most truculent when it comes to releasing its magical properties. Most high quality ti frames now use a cocktail of 3% aluminium 2.5% vanadium and 94.5% titanium, as the optimal performance formula - commonly known as 3AL-2.5V.

More than just a headbadge. A life's work for Rob Vandermark. The world's foremost Ti innovator

The Godfather of Titanium

Seven Cycles have have made it their life's work to cautiously coax innovation from the world's grumpiest metal. And within Seven Cycles nobody is more respected for his contribution than founder, Rob Vandermark.

This Axiom XX is the current apotheosis of all his hard work. It is the lightest disc-brake ti bike we have ever built (7.5kg) - the same weight as a gen7 Trek Madone by the way. This iconic Seven Axiom sings custom-made from every pore - frame, saddle, seat-post, seat-clamp and wheels.

But is there more to come or have we reached peak-titanium. One thing is for damn sure Rob will keep pushing forwards, but he is also rightly cautious and would never do anything to prejudice a Seven's hallowed reputation and lifetime warranty.

What our clients say

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."

    RM

    New Cyclist

  • "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

  • "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."

    Matt H

    Seven Evergreen SL

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "

    Peter G.

    Recreational rider

  • "I have a lot of trust in you guys and I know how you work so I think we could do something good. Orthotics feeling good."
