CHUNKY // - Noth’n better than big fat 5” tires on fresh packed POW and a fist full of STUDS. Winter can wait but.. you know when it’s here I’m reaching for my fat bike! - #fatbike #titanium

Marauder Ti FAT // - I don’t build fat bikes very often. But when I do, they tend to be dedicated to snow. I built this one back in 2018 which feels like from a different dimension given the current timeline. It’s locked in time but still rips when there fresh POW. I’m going to build a new fat bike this winter around 27.5” wheels. Watch it not snow.. - #fatbike #titanium

Huntsman // - I don’t like front derailleurs. There I said it. 1x or Die.. - #titanium #friday

Huntsman // - My personal builds tend to be pretty clean. I prefer subtle cleanliness and straight forward no nonsense solid kit. I’ll take a few extra ounces of durability any day. Oh.. and black. - #titanium #blackshoes

Huntsman Ti // - When we moved from Providence to New Hampshire in 2006, it only took one ride on my skinny tire road bike to realize I needed something very different to tackle the dirt roads and off beaten tracks in this neck of the woods. And so the Huntsman was born. This ones getting a full redesign this winter. It’s pictured with 50mm tires but wouldn’t you know that first Huntsman back in 2007 ran 2.3” tires? I want more of that.. - #titanium #more

Progressive Simplicity // - In a nutshell, “progressive simplicity” is my ethos of constant evolution and pushing boundaries in form and function to achieve the most simple straight forward solution.   Every detail is considered.  Every decision is functionally driven with an eye to aesthetic balance.  Everything has a reason for being.  There is no room for excess in this methodology. If its frivolous, its excluded.  If it serves no purpose, it’s eliminated.   To the uninitiated, these are not toys nor are they tools.  They are by nature pure utility.  They are purposefully designed to be an extension between rider and terrain.   The driving design parameter is to bring to bear only that which is necessary for the task.   This idea of “stripped down simplicity” is pervasive in all of my work and the Marauder embodies this concept wholeheartedly from axle to axle. - Read all about it and the Marauder over at the 44HQ Blog. - #singlespeed #hardtail
