Finished and built up Ron’s Huntsman this past week – she ships out first thing Monday via Fedex. As I was wrapping the bars, which I always do last – just seems to put the lid on a build nicely – I was once again reminded of my old buddy Turbo. AKA TurboNerd… This brings …

Been a while as things have been busy juggling some design projects, getting thing sorted for the new 44 Bikes online shop thanks to some Big Cartel muscle and a lot of time on the phone with clients and customers. Somewhere in all that, I’m also getting bikes built! I don’t know how, but it’s …

This one’s headed to Japan. The client owns a bike shop there and specializes in distributing hand made bicycles from across the globe. Sounds like there’s going to be a bunch of 44’s headed over there in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled Tokyo…

Both Ron’s and David’s Huntsman builds are very similar. Both Force 22. Both Stan’s wheelsets and King and Thomson bits. Both sport racks and fenders. But Ron’s has a rear rack, David’s will have a front rack with a matching bag/tote. As I was waiting on fenders for both builds, I couldn’t finish up Ron’s …

A while back I received an enthusiastic email from Ron out in Portland, Oregon. Details were decided. Hands were shook. Specifications specified. His turn recently came up, so it was go time. Time to make some chips and build him his Huntsman. Room for 40mm tires if the desire should ever hit, it will live …

44 Bikes Poster series 3 of 3. Available soon. I’m currently selecting paper and we’re deciding on quantities. Jason at Brainstorm has been a great help with this project. French Paper Co. will be providing the goods. Pop-Tone Whip Cream in a 100lb stock. Stoke levels are approaching critical mass on this project… More soon. …

Signed. Sealed. Delivered. Client came across the pond to pick it up. I couldn’t NOT take him out for a ride to break in his new custom 44 Bikes Long Travel 650b. I strung together a bunch of singletrack and made sure we hit some of the best DH runs local to the shop (saved …

I had the luck of “coming of age” during the 90’s and with that enjoyed the rise of the Mountain Bike with all of it’s anodized glory. My first mountain bike was a Trek 850 Antelope. My Dad took me over to T-Town Cycles in Trexlertown, PA. Popped in the door and I knew I …

Been ending my rides as of late in this field which overlooks Mt. Monadnock. The locals call it “the Wagonwheel” as the field acts like the hub as many trails “spoke” off in different directions from it. So you can pretty much start and end here depending on which trails and links / loops you …

Next one up is a Shimano Ultegra Di2 Equipped Huntsman. Actually, the next 3 builds are all Huntsman’s. Tis the season I suppose. This one is actually for my wife Lynn so it’s a bit special. All the bikes are special naturally, but this one is a touch more special for obvious reasons. It’s been …
