Not exactly accurate (but close!);
The Seven fork is manufactured by Wound Up...that much is accurate.
The Seven fork is NOT the same as the Wound Up fork. Seven specified some additional tweaks to make
it a Seven product and not just in name. As a 220 pound Seven Ti Alaris owner I can tell you that
Seven advised me against the Seven fork and suggested I go with the standard Wound Up fork. So
there must be some difference, between the two. My Wound Up does have a carbon fiber steerer tube
like the Seven.
The finish between the forks is also a bit different. The Seven fork has less sheen...i.e. more of a
matte look. The Wound Up has a glossier finish.
I did go with the Seven seat post, I would imagine the difference is likely in finish only on
this item.
As far as ride...I have nothing to compare it to. I am new to road bikes and I wanted a custom
fitted bike. I went with Seven's suggestions.
I do like the look of the fork.
I rode my first Century last week (have had the bike about 1 month) and I am exceptionally happy
with the fit and quality. I will leave performance comparisons to those who have something else to
compare to.
