Let’s take a look back through 2025.  20 pictures?  There’s a heck of a lot more I’d sure wish to share but sometimes it’s what you don’t show that counts.  I packed in a lot of local riding and fly fishing.  Development continues for the stock Marauder.  Parts for the pre-production Snakedriver arrived.  Custom client orders in steel and titanium were fulfilled.  I have a full list of orders heading into 2026 with even more planned for development and hopefully release as I look to expand what I offer.  As of January 1st my orders for custom bikes are officially open.  I’ll make a more official announcement in the coming week.  2025 wasn’t the best nor was it the worst.  It was about Even-Steven from a business perspective.  It’s in the books so to speak.  Looking forward to another trip around the sun riding bikes, fly fishing, building bikes, exploring personal projects, keeping a positive mental attitude, sketching & painting, helping those in need and striving to be the best and most well rounded human I can be.  Hope to see you out on the trail.  Tight lines friends!

To celebrate 13 Years of 44 Bikes, I wanted to do something special that gives back to the community that’s given so much in some small way.  For me, the journey all started with BMX.  One of the companies that I always admired for their spirit, grit and commitment to Made in the USA was none other than @fbmbikecompany 
-
Earlier this year, I reached out to one of the founders of FBM, @crandallfbm to see if he’d give me permission to resurrect an old FBM BMX t-shirt and give it a new twist.  Crandall approved and gave me permission to update the graphic.  I really believe in RADshare’s non-profit mission and so all proceeds of the sale of the 44 Bikes 13th anniversary t-shirt will go to @radshare !!

Legos and Star Wars.  Baseball and fishing in the summer.  Football in the fall.  Bicycles connected all the dots.

Merry Christmas everyone!

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.

Let’s take a look back through 2025.  20 pictures?  There’s a heck of a lot more I’d sure wish to share but sometimes it’s what you don’t show that counts.  I packed in a lot of local riding and fly fishing.  Development continues for the stock Marauder.  Parts for the pre-production Snakedriver arrived.  Custom client orders in steel and titanium were fulfilled.  I have a full list of orders heading into 2026 with even more planned for development and hopefully release as I look to expand what I offer.  As of January 1st my orders for custom bikes are officially open.  I’ll make a more official announcement in the coming week.  2025 wasn’t the best nor was it the worst.  It was about Even-Steven from a business perspective.  It’s in the books so to speak.  Looking forward to another trip around the sun riding bikes, fly fishing, building bikes, exploring personal projects, keeping a positive mental attitude, sketching & painting, helping those in need and striving to be the best and most well rounded human I can be.  Hope to see you out on the trail.  Tight lines friends!

Let’s take a look back through 2025.  20 pictures?  There’s a heck of a lot more I’d sure wish to share but sometimes it’s what you don’t show that counts.  I packed in a lot of local riding and fly fishing.  Development continues for the stock Marauder.  Parts for the pre-production Snakedriver arrived.  Custom client orders in steel and titanium were fulfilled.  I have a full list of orders heading into 2026 with even more planned for development and hopefully release as I look to expand what I offer.  As of January 1st my orders for custom bikes are officially open.  I’ll make a more official announcement in the coming week.  2025 wasn’t the best nor was it the worst.  It was about Even-Steven from a business perspective.  It’s in the books so to speak.  Looking forward to another trip around the sun riding bikes, fly fishing, building bikes, exploring personal projects, keeping a positive mental attitude, sketching & painting, helping those in need and striving to be the best and most well rounded human I can be.  Hope to see you out on the trail.  Tight lines friends!

ALL TERRAIN BICYCLE MFG //
-
To celebrate 13 Years of 44 Bikes, I wanted to do something special that gives back to the community that’s given so much in some small way.  For me, the journey all started with BMX.  One of the companies that I always admired for their spirit, grit and commitment to Made in the USA was none other than @fbmbikecompany 
-
Earlier this year, I reached out to one of the founders of FBM, @crandallfbm to see if he’d give me permission to resurrect an old FBM BMX t-shirt and give it a new twist.  Crandall approved and gave me permission to update the graphic.  I really believe in RADshare’s non-profit mission and so all proceeds of the sale of the 44 Bikes 13th anniversary t-shirt will go to @radshare !!
-
It’s my parting gift for 2025.  Link to the 44 Shop in my profile.  Limited run.  Scoop yours today!

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.

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.
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.
