WATERTOWN, Mass. (BRAIN) — Seven Cycles has added two custom titanium fat bike models to its lineup.
The Treeline S and Treeline SL are built with straight-gauge and double-butted titanium respectively.
Seven Cycles' founder Rob Vandermark said, "As with most of the bikes we build, the Treelines answer a need in our own riding. We are New England cyclists. We ride through winters. It's what we do, and a fat bike gives us one more good way to get around, whether commuting through snow storms or riding snowy trails during the cold season."
The Treelines are available in 170mm or 197mm rear spacing, for QR or thru-axle set-ups, and come with 100mm threaded bottom brackets. Riders have a choice of SRAM or Shimano build kits, as well as complete freedom with other build out options. Frames can be built with or without rack mounts, for suspension or rigid forks, straight or drop bar.
Vandermark added, "As custom builders, we're not big fans of narrow categories. The Treelines are mountain bikes, too. You can ride them with fat tires, but you can also swap out to 27.5-plus and ride them in a different way. They can be winter bikepacking bikes. You can ride trails on them in summertime. For us, it wasn't about trying to have a fat bike, but really to have a different kind of mountain bike that lets riders have a different set of experiences from the bikes we're already building."
The Treeline S frame retails for $2,995. The SL is $3,695. Seven plans to produce 20 Treelines before the end of the year, then the bikes will be available on the same timeline as other Seven custom models — currently about 7 weeks.
