When you come to us for a bike, you tell us what you want to do on the bike, we listen and make sure your new bike is everything you are dreaming of. We’re thoughtful, knowledgeable, and want you to have the best ride, as you define it. HQ founder, Patria Vandermark, has worked with riders of all levels from beginners to high-level professionals.

Our bikes start at $5,800 and we usually deliver new bikes within 4-5 weeks.

When you walk into a bike shop, they’ll try to match you up with a bike they have in stock without really getting to know you and how you ride. This means you’ll have to make compromises. They may even give you a good price!

If you save a few thousand dollars, you’ve still overpaid by whatever you handed them at the register. Few frames out there cost more than a couple of hundred dollars to produce overseas.

The frame material, how it’s built, the weight of the rider it was designed for, its geometry, and how cables run on it, are all the at the heart of your experience now and in the future. Getting a bike that made you compromise? Wasn’t quite right on Day 1? It’s never getting more right as you ride it.

The bike shop is probably not telling you about future maintenance costs, proprietary parts issues, and the inability to change your position on the bike in the future assuming it fits well on day 1.

Come to us to get respect, thoughtfulness, and the best bike for you.

Consider a Seven Cycles bike for your next gravel, road, travel, mountain or fat bike!

Ask us (email: connect@rideheadquarters.com) to test a bike and you’ll see why people love Seven Cycles bikes: because they feel amazing and since they’re made for you and no one else, you get exactly what you want. It’s the least expensive way to get into cycling since the frame lasts you forever without changing ride qualities or breaking. There are no proprietary parts to break leaving you without use of your bike. Titanium as built by Seven offers the highest quality ride on the planet.

Why riding a great bike is important & what is a “great” bike, anyway?

Riding a well-built bike, made for the riding you want to do, built out of the right materials and the right size is not a luxury, it’s important to allow you to get what you want out of the time you spend riding.

Road

Seven Cycles Axiom SL Titanium

This is a disc brake road bike designed for endurance riding. If you like rolling fast over long distances and spend most of your time on pavement — good or bad — and spend a bit a time on dirt roads, really rough pavement, and even a bit of trail the a Seven Cycles titanium frame built for this riding cannot be bested. With the design optimized for 30mm tires but very happy with 25mm tires, you can do a century-plus adventure ride on Saturday and join a spirited club ride on Sunday. This bike can handle both jobs really well.

Seven Axiom XX

This Award-Winning Bike is for riders who want the best titanium bike Seven can build. More than 30,000 builds worth of experience find their way into each frame. It is as light a frame as Seven can build, while still incorporating all the features you want and delivering the exact blend of stiffness and compliance you need.

Seven has done a clean sweep of every aspect of the frame to remove any hidden grams. The XX is four to eleven ounces lighter than a typical Seven SL build without sacrificing ride characteristics or service life.

Gravel

Seven Cycles Evergreen Titanium

This is an incredible gravel bike that, if you want, can easily double as your road bike also.

Equally at home on the race course or a hundred miles into the woods, the Evergreen will change the way you ride. Choose your optimal and maximum tire size for all of the flexibility you want in a bike. We’re here to advise you as to what tire sizes you’re likely to ride on day 1 and years into the future, too.

Seven Evergreen XX

The Seven Evergreen is a great choice for riders wanting to test their limits over dirt and gravel. The titanium eases the impacts from ruts, potholes and the sorts of imperfections that distinguish Class IV roads from their smoother, paved brethren. Highly tunable handling is wed to disc brake stopping power to keep you dialed-in to the ride even after hours in the saddle.

Dive into the woods to get away from it all. Enjoy the solace and silence of some time in the woods on your fast, fun Evergreen.

Seven Cycles Treeline S Titanium

This handmade titanium dual or triple wheel offering is designed specifically for the harshest environments. The Treeline is ready for anything you’re up for, and then some.

The bike is designed for two different wheel types, your choice. This sounds simple but it’s actually rather challenging to optimize a bike design for two conflicting wheel sizes and ride styles. Ask for your Treeline to be the funnest ever fat bike and your performance summer mountain bike. The Treeline can be optimized for a “fat” 26” x 4.6” wheel system and a “plus” 27.5” x 3.0” wheel set or 29” x 2.3” wheels and tires also.

The Seven Cycles Evergreen

The highest value gravel bike on the market is here!

Why the Seven Cycles Evergreen S is THE gravel bike for you:

This is the highest value gravel bike on the market by a wide margin. Here’s why:

  • Lightweight: It is as light or lighter than any bike in its price range. 

  • Fast: Seven’s chainstays are stiff, translating pedaling power directly to the rear wheel.

  • Responsive: The bike is designed to do exactly what its rider asks without rider fatigue.

  • Sure-footed: Keeping the tires on the ground is the best way to stay upright on loose surfaces. This bike maintains contact with the ground, rider confidence is the result.

  • Made in the USA: Seven Cycles bikes are designed and hand-built in Massachusetts.

  • Ride soon: ~5-7 week leadtimes are unheard of in the cycling industry right now (with shorter offered if you’re in a hurry).

  • Titanium: This is the best material for a gravel bike frame. Titanium won't rust or corrode under any conditions. It's super durable for rough terrain and treatment.

  • Durable: Gravel bikes experience more stress and frame-testing situations such as rocks being flung up onto the frame and hitting potholes at speed than road bikes. The parts kit is curated for light-weight durability.

  • It fits and feels great: A Professional Bike fitting is included in the price of the bike and your frame is built for you, so it fits like a glove on day 1.

  • Backed by us and our Professional Mechanics: We offer you service with the best mechanics when you buy a bike from us.
