- Project: 1″ Chainstays. Seven Cycles has been designing frames with 1″ chain stays for a while. We’ve been working on broadening the frame design options with our 1″ stays. Today we iterated our road racing design. These stays are more than 2x stiffer than our most common 7/8″ stays. These are definitely not right for everyone. But, on some applications they make a big difference. We’ll be introducing a few more variants throughout the rest of the season.
Seven Cycles’ latest 1″ chainstay design in production.
- Project: Fatigue Test Carbon. We’ve just started a new round of carbon frame testing. In this round we’re working on a few surface treatment idea. I’m fairly confident that the results will be very positive. We’re running a few rounds of full frame tests and we’ll evaluate bell curve fatigue comparisons. Testing starts on Monday.
- Project G Private Label: Working on another new private label conversation. This one is a bit trickier than some of the others we’ve evaluated.
- Ride: Crazy 88: wrapping up the final aspects of the Ride Studio Cafe’s latest organized ride. It’s now two rides! A century and a short 88-miler. We’re doing this one a bit different. Brevet style. Now we’re looking for a sweeper van driver.
- Project: Fast Ice: Next round of beta. Almost presentable. We’re working through a few aesthetic details but the concept seems to be working. More next week.
