Marauder Ti SS //

Broke down my personal singlespeed this past winter and re-anodized everything to a bronze to rose fade with a few personal touches.

LETS GET IN CLOSE: How about we take a close look at all those spaces between spaces. Those negative spaces, Moriarty.

HOT SEAT //

Monday weld session. Wrapped up the majority of the welding on this Marauder Ti SS and now it’s just the seat stay bridge and small bits.

Progression /
-
The year is 2018 and I was curious about building a more progressive hardtail. I built two prototypes that Spring: One in steel with more progressive geo and one out of Ti that was more conservative. All it took was one ride on that steel rig to know I HAD to go back the drawing board and redesign the Marauder Ti to be more progressive. This is that bike. And THAT…. is all she wrote.

THROWBACK THURSDAY //
-
Let’s go through all the Marauder prototypes from the first to the last. 13 years of bikes = 13 prototypes! Pretty cool to line them all up, flip through and watch the progression slowly occur. I’ve actually made 27 mountain bike prototypes in total if you include an earlier design that would eventually be shelved to become the Snakedriver FS.
-
Longer, lower, slacker is definitely a theme. Enjoy!

The Paragon Hooded Slider //
-
I’ve built a lot of singlespeeds. And hands down THE BEST singlespeed dropout system was (I can’t believe I’m using past tense) the @paragonmachine Hooded Slider DS0001. Fully backwards and forwards compatible with every standard the industry could cook up despite itself, the DS0001 stands alone. The best part? It was a singlespeed setup that worked. I sure hope a heavy hitter can purchase the IP of this sucker and keep it alive.
-
So here’s to you DS0001! You’re officially NOS from here on out till my supply runs dry…
