It was called "The Bone Shaker" by its riders. But yes it was the first bicycle made in America.

Not sure how I missed this thread...
Since my hip issue 16 years ago I have been unable to run. So to keep in shape, I started biking. A couple or years ago, I had a Seven built for me. It rides great...

Love those custom 7’s. What frame material did you go with? It was the steel frame 7’s and some of the other custom steel frames that made me try out the LeMond I posted above.

Originally Sigmund Freud classified regression as a defense mechanism for coping with stress; where one reverts to earlier, more childlike patterns of behavior to cope. Since regression is a common phenomenon that occurs most often under stress, we all do it constantly, yet most of it is unconscious.Sep 11, 2014

Yes perfect, I haven't looked in years. Thankyou
Mine is steel, and I prefer the road feel of steel frame. Many say the titanium frames ride like steel but others disagree. Plus, I couldn't afford the titanium either, so I'll keep brainwashing myself that steel is better! Regardless, the quality of the workmanship is amazing, plus the bike is 100% American made.

Yeah looked like a steel frame. My Zurich rides amazing. I’ve never riden high end bikes, only low end aluminum and old 80’s steel. Compared to the cheap aluminum bikes, which are stiff as hell, the steel Zurich is butter.
I can only imagine how good that custom Seven rides

PK's were aluminum. I bent one.
Hutch was mild steel. I broke one.
I ended up with a full cr/mo Team Mongoose in de-epoxied natural nickel.
I was an unofficial test rider for the bike shop that became DK (K&G) in Dayton OH.
At 14 I was 6'2 and 165#. I broke/bent a LOT of stuff.
The third time I broke a gooseneck they gave me a prototype AL top steel bottom hybrid and said "see if you can break this..."
I was pleasantly surprised a few years ago when I picked up a BMX mag in a library and saw DK had Mopar themed bikes like the Fury, and Dart.
