This is Julie’s Huntsman commissioned as a 1×11 to cruise dirt roads and have room for 40mm tires. Unlike most builds that seem to go through the doors, this one was liquid paint by Jay Nutini. Julie originally requested white with matching bands of Sour Apple Green to highlight the matching Chris King headset, bottom bracket and hubs. In a way, I was relieved to have a client excited about paint. It gives me an opportunity to add some flair and create refine the language that is unique to 44 Bikes. I had Jay work in some pearl and candy the green a touch. The bands wrap around to have a nice “dart” or point at their peek while being smooth a they wrap around the bottom of the tubes. Little touch of black to go with the green/white as well. And last but not least give those bands a little forward lean to add a layer of speed to the mix. Here’s the results:
This one will be living life around the Boston area. Be sure to give a “HEY HO! LET’S GO!” to Julie should you spot her cruising…
