Our buddy Steve Crandall once rode to Philly on a clapped out Nishiki mountain bike and it was almost the coolest shit ever. During that ride, Steve dreamt of a different bike—a bike that would work way better than his old MTB and turn the ride into something way more rad. We worked with Steve and the FBM Bike Co. to develop the bike from that dream. This is the Hunter Gatherer.

Frame Design
Our second production model is designed with more utility and long-range loaded riding in mind. The Hunter Gatherer steel frame is designed for efficiency and comfort over the long haul and the geometry puts the rider in a more relaxed position that translates to comfort and control while cruising through multi-day adventures.

Tire Clearance & Wheel Standard
Shorter 435 chainstays maintain responsiveness while still providing clearance for 27.5x2.25 tires. The frame utilizes 12x142 thru-axle standard for the rear wheel and 15x100 thru-axle fork. The low trail fork is perfect for loaded riding without compromising control or confidence in handling.

Cargo & Fenders
The Hunter Gatherer has rear triangle and fork mounts for fenders and racks and is equipped with three bottle cages mounted low to free up enough space for a frame bag.

The Hunter Gatherer is designed by Ride Endpoint and hand-built in Ithaca, NY by the fine folks at FBM Machine Shop. Get one!
