A Long History of Photo-TakingĮach company mentioned is a framebuilder, unless otherwise indicated: For example, King Cage is not a framebuilder, but Ron worked at Fat City Cycles so we included him on this list. Here is a list of framebuilders and bike-building industry people of which we’re aware that started businesses after working with local – primarily Massachusetts – framebuilders. We are honored to be a part of this thriving and expanding community, and we wanted to clarify a few aspects of Patrick’s illustration that might be confusing to readers. In his (now defunct) blog, Red Kite Prayer, Patrick elaborates on the interconnectedness of the region’s bike building companies, and created a family tree to illustrate some of the relationships. Just remember – the website does not currently show the reduced prices of 20% off road – so your best option is to call us in store on 012 and reserve your bike by placing a deposit with us.Patrick Brady wrote a brief history of New England bicycle manufacturing in the latest issue of Peloton Magazine, “ New England Genesis”, and Seven was lucky enough to be included in it. Our bikes are ‘click and collect’ so we can assist you with bike fitting and set-up when you come to the shop to get your new purchase. However, if you can’t see what you want, please give us a call and we will see if we can find something similar for you. You will see that this means limited choice in sizes, for example. So there is not always a lot of time to lose in choosing one of our bikes. The bikes you see as ‘available in store for collection’ are all of the sale stock that we have.
On all Trek bikes this means a lifetime frame and fork warranty (excludes suspension hybrid and MTB forks).

And each retains a full bike shop and manufacturer’s warranty.
Each bike is backed up by our great shop staff and service team. Red Kite sale bikes and clearance models are great on price but certainly don’t skimp on a quality shopping experience.
