44 Bikes

Short. Fast. Loud. Like Punk Rock.

This particular Huntsman is headed across the Pacific to it's new home in Japan. The client owns a bike shop there and specializes in distributing custom bicycles from across the globe. Apparently he's already got a few interested folks in some 44 Bikes Huntsman's

This is bada$$. Thanks for sharing and a great way to come back to the bench after a long overdue vacation. Mind if I share over on Facebook?

Sure, you can use it as you wish Kris.
That was a great two city and country side ride.
And 44bikes is awesome kit, looks great and feel good too.

Took a little R&R this past week to pack up the car, ready the bikes and head North with friends and family. Went to where my brother in law (Francois) grew up: Saquenay, Quebec. Did some riding, did a lot of napping. Enjoyed the local lore, food (especially the yogurt and cheese) and mangled my way through some french with Francois helping of course.

I meant to say "Damned Good".

Excellent work, as always. I saw your 2 new Huntsmen posted on the Radavist. If you don't mind sharing, how are you mounting fenders on the Enve fork?
thanks,
Bryan

Thanks Bryan-for the record, the fork for this bike is a Whisky No. 7 Cross (the one previous was an ENVE, and the one after this one has an ENVE and a custom steel fork for front rack... more on that one hopefully next week!). What's really nice about this fork is it has mounts at the dropouts and behind the crown for fenders. I machined a custom mount for the front fender that allows for the longer distance that needs to be covered from crown to fender on this particular fork.

If you zoom in on this particular photo, you can see the part:

Thanks for clearing that up Kris! It looks great!

Thanks to John at the Radavist for posting up Ron's rig. More on FNL this friday...

With all the questions and inquiries I do get, one build seems to get a lot of attention and that is the Huntsman. I've put together a little photo journal along with a detailed explanation of my personal Huntsman build. This outlines what I've built and WHY I've built it this way. These are purpose built bicycles. How will your Huntsman be built? Give me a shout and we can discuss your options. Find out more after the jump here.
