2002 Seven Sola - Ridden 24/03/12 page 4

[GT-Steve]

So today I had some time on my hands, for the first time in ages, and I set about making a start on this build... Oh and it's my first modern build, with discs and everything, so go easy on me..

Someone's gonna have to let me in on what year it is, but I'm guessing around 2002??

Full spec to follow, so for the time being, a teaser pic.



**UPDATE** - After email conversations with SevenCycles it is a September 2001 frame manufacture, for 2002MY

Very nice Steve.
Will you be going for flat or riser bars?
Oh, and i know it goes against the grain but maybe treat her too some blackwall tyres

 

[GT-Steve]

Cheers fella,

I generally detest risers, so Flats will be the order of the day...

Thought I had some oversized ones, but alas, they're all 25.4 otherwise I'd have finished it off today...

Nah, not gonna change these tyres, I spent a forune on them a year ago, for a modern build and this is it..

I might 'ride' it on blackwalls, but we'll have to see..

 

[GT-Steve]

Oh, and I have a set of black Tune cranks and BB that'll be going on shortly, but I just wanted to see how these looked..

 

[GT-Steve]

Finished today (22nd Jan)

And I've managed to break 2 of my big no-no rules....

Disc brakes
Risers

Anywhoo, a few pics and I love it. Carbon everywhere..

 

[Harryburgundy]

Very nice

 

[GT-Steve]

Cheers fella,

And thanks for the frame in the first place...

 

[saltyman]

Glad to see you've still got thumbies

By the way if you wanna keep the weight down.......
