Got word from Ron that he received his Huntsman from the sounds of it, he’s mighty pleased. He even mentioned he was currently mapping out the long way to work routes. This is the kind of stuff I like to hear – literally rearranging your schedule and beaten path to get in more shred! I’m …

44 Bikes MTN Bike XXX : My Ride
Last week I took the reader on a detailed journey about my personal Huntsman build. This was an account of not only the “what” behind a build, but more importantly the WHY behind the choices I made from geometry, to set up and component selection. Seems this was well received so I’ve decided to do …

David’s Huntsman
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 …

Ron’s Huntsman
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.
