So I finally finished my much anticipated new 29er frame: 44f1. “F” for flair, “1” for one bend in the ST. I’ve ridden the first proto for some time now and decided it was time to make some changes from the very first proto Ted and I made last year. The first rendition threw me …

New badges arrived. Stoked. Clean. Simple. Better. Not to mention the seat tube badge now states where they’re made. Even if it’s one at a time-that stamp of “Made in the USA” is more important than ever before.Head tube badge in non-titled version. Seat tube badge with rider option of a ‘owner number’. Pick your …

That was the line of business today. Formed. Fitted. Ready for action. Really like how this turned out. Mirrors the profile of the tire well. The disk brake bridge also is curved too. (shown just before she was tacked in place utilizing a framebuilders 3rd hand..) I must admit that these were relatively the same …

This ones out the door for paint this week. Rohloff build is finished up. Gloss black of course..

Progress shot from the Rohloff build. This ones a 26s but with an ebb/Rohloff 500/14. Very impressed with the fit/finish of Rohloff’s product. Wheel build courtesy of Peter White Cycles. Ted Wojcik thumb of approval naturally. This ones going to be a special build. Rack mounts throughout for a touring option (not road touring though-we’re …

Check this out: 16.75″ Chainstays with the help of a shaped seat tube, room for 2.5+ tires, massive standover, and angles suited to picking your line in the New England tech. Can’t wait for this one to be done. 29″ for the wheels, ‘F’ for flaired stays, and the ‘1’ stands for one shaped tube. …

44 26f Another view – mean and clean. Here’s a rare sight… 2 44’s side by side. You’ll notice something about 44’s: No graphics with the exception of two badges. One on the seat tube and of course one on the headtube. Why? Why not. Flat black is to hotrods as no graphics are to …

From the front Another view… Wet Black Powder is juicy.. build pics to follow. Someones going to be stoked this weekend.

So I think I’m just going to start calling bikes by their wheelsizes. A additional letter will denote a special quality about them. So say a 44 29er with straight seat curves would be referred to as a 44 29s. A 44 26 with a flaired seat tubes would be a 44 26f. Makes it …

New badge art.. Stoked on bike badges.
