A legend himself, 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. A few years ago we worked with Steve and the FBM Bike Co. to design and build the bike from that dream. That bike was the Hunter Gatherer, and this is the first big progression on that initial design.

Frame Design
The Hunter Gatherer is designed with more utility and long-range, technical mixed surface, loaded riding in mind. The Hunter Gatherer is a Columbus tubed steel frame designed for efficiency and comfort over the long haul with a geometry that puts the rider in a more relaxed position that translates to comfort and control while cruising through multi-day adventures over more aggressive terrain.

Tire Clearance & Wheel Standard
Shorter 435 chainstays maintain responsiveness while still providing improved clearance for 27.5x2.4 tires. The frame utilizes 12x142 thru-axle dropouts for the rear wheel and a 12x100 thru-axle dropout with our Search Light 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 Colbert, WA by Glen Copus at Elephant Bikes. Get one!
