This is Seven Cycles A Hands-on Approach From the first tube cut to the final finish, precision and craftsmanship are poured into every aspect of frame fabrication. Our machinists strive for 100 percent accuracy on every part they work on. Once machined, tubes are cleaned, then handled only with cotton gloves, as even a fingerprint can degrade the strength of a weld. Our welders purge oxygen from the weld zone using a customized TIG welding torch that bathes the frame in argon gas. Then, they use an alternating welding pattern developed by Seven to ensure perfect alignment.
Welders check frame alignment five times, altering their pattern to maintain tolerances.
In fact, there are more than 17 alignment checks during fabrication. Once welded, the frame enters final machining, where it is reamed, faced and chased to the tightest tolerances in the industry. In finishing, titanium frames are brushed to a natural luster, and steel frames are meticulously painted for an impeccable finish. Finishers also perform a thorough final inspection to ensure that the frame meets Seven s standards. Our final touch is to include Seven s frame card.
