THE TRAIL AWAITS.

Marauder Ti

The quintessential hardtail mountain bike now in Titanium.  Low slung. Aggressive.  Refined for the rigors of technically demanding terrain.

Marauder

The New England hardtail mountain bike.  Low slung. Aggressive.  Built for the rigors of technically demanding terrain.

Huntsman Ti

Paths less traveled. Lost and found. The Huntsman Ti is the bike that takes you over the horizon and into the beyond.

Huntsman

“Road” is a relative word. In my neck of the woods, not all roads are paved. The Huntsman is the bike that covers all the bases.

  • HOT SEAT - Welded Matt’s Huntsman this afternoon. On to brazing and finishing! - Finally updated my 50/1.8 F-mount lens to a Prime 50/1.8 Z-Mount. Subtle differences but pretty stoked with finally updating my daily driver lens. For anyone asking, I own a first generation Nikon Z7 mirrorless body.
  • Snakedriver Prototype Lineage - It’s Tuesday night. Let’s review where we’ve been with the Snakedriver so far: - V4: this is the latest iteration of the Snakedriver. 140/120mm flex pivot platform. 65° HT / 76° ST with 440mm rear center. I’m currently working on V4.2 which has revisions of a few final details in the swingarm and rocker as well as a refined front triangle. If all goes well, this will be as close to pre-production as it gets. - V4 Ti: identical to the all steel version but running a Ti front triangle option. This bike really rips coming in at a cool 30lbs. A Ti front triangle will most likely be offered as a custom option. - V3/V2 Horst: This version was a 160/140mm trail bike. To my tastes it was a lot of bike. It really was fun downhill but just seemed to be wallowing in travel anywhere else. Parts count was through the roof but I learned a lot about service/maintenance via these builds as well as a deep dive into 3D printing. - V1 Single Pivot: This was a 150/130mm single pivot meant to explore full suspension. The year was 2019 and I had not thrown a leg over an FS since 1998. A lot had changed and I wanted to start the learning process on a simple platform. I mentioned (and was constantly reminded) of its similarities to other single pivots but the peanut gallery missed the point: I was learning the ins and outs of full suspension and it was meant as a way to get my feet wet, fabricate everything and start the process of understanding A. what kind of bike did I want to ride and B. What kind of bike did I want to service. This build was super fun and set me on the path to what became V4 and all that is to come: A fast, fun bike meant to carve turns, bunny hop stumps, climb mountains and just go all out down hill built around a simple easy to maintain 140/120mm flex pivot platform.
  • Friday Float // - Heading into the weekend folks.. “Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee. ..handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail.”
  • Around the Shop - December 3, 2025
  • State of the Singlespeed - Over the course of the past two seasons I’ve basically changed all my contact points: Bars, Pedals, Grips and Saddle. Recently I made the must needed upgrade on my singlespeed to a set of @sqlab 30x 12° carbon bars and their 611 saddle. Couldn’t be happier. Still running SPD’s on this rig but have been loving flats on the FS. So it goes..
  • Full Suspension Friday - Chiseling away at the next Snakedriver prototype over here. Next up is the lower shock mount and ISCG tab welding. Then wait on the new narrower and redesigned rockers from @thomashosford so I can proof swing arms and stick it all together!

Parts count was through the roof but I learned a lot about service/maintenance via these builds as well as a deep dive into 3D printing. - V1 Single Pivot: This was a 150/130mm single pivot meant to explore full suspension. The year was 2019 and I had not thrown a leg over an FS since 1998. A lot had changed and I wanted to start the learning process on a simple platform. I mentioned (and was constantly reminded) of its similarities to other single pivots but the peanut gallery missed the point: I was learning the ins and outs of full suspension and it was meant as a way to get my feet wet, fabricate everything and start the process of understanding A. what kind of bike did I want to ride and B. What kind of bike did I want to service. This build was super fun and set me on the path to what became V4 and all that is to come: A fast, fun bike meant to carve turns, bunny hop stumps, climb mountains and just go all out down hill built around a simple easy to maintain 140/120mm flex pivot platform.
Snakedriver Prototype Lineage - It’s Tuesday night. Let’s review where we’ve been with the Snakedriver so far: - V4: this is the latest iteration of the Snakedriver. 140/120mm flex pivot platform. 65° HT / 76° ST with 440mm rear center. I’m currently working on V4.2 which has revisions of a few final details in the swingarm and rocker as well as a refined front triangle. If all goes well, this will be as close to pre-production as it gets. - V4 Ti: identical to the all steel version but running a Ti front triangle option. This bike really rips coming in at a cool 30lbs. A Ti front triangle will most likely be offered as a custom option. - V3/V2 Horst: This version was a 160/140mm trail bike. To my tastes it was a lot of bike. It really was fun downhill but just seemed to be wallowing in travel anywhere else. Parts count was through the roof but I learned a lot about service/maintenance via these builds as well as a deep dive into 3D printing. - V1 Single Pivot: This was a 150/130mm single pivot meant to explore full suspension.

State of the Singlespeed - Over the course of the past two seasons I’ve basically changed all my contact points: Bars, Pedals, Grips and Saddle. Recently I made the must needed upgrade on my singlespeed to a set of @sqlab 30x 12° carbon bars and their 611 saddle. Couldn’t be happier. Still running SPD’s on this rig but have been loving flats on the FS. So it goes..

Full Suspension Friday - Chiseling away at the next Snakedriver prototype over here. Next up is the lower shock mount and ISCG tab welding. Then wait on the new narrower and redesigned rockers from @thomashosford so I can proof swing arms and stick it all together!
