Since the Hunter SimWorks CX Team is very active during cyclocross season, many people may strongly associate Hunter Cycles with CX frames, but of course, he creates a wide variety of other bikes as well. Please take a look at those here as well.
To be honest, regarding custom orders, there is currently a two-year wait. However, it is also a fact that many people are willing to wait for one. (We are truly grateful for this.) That said, although not on a regular schedule, we do try to keep stock frames available as constantly as possible.
We have just received several new production model frames from Hunter and SimWorks! If the purpose matches your needs and the size is a fit, don't miss this opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you!
Hunter Cycles “Rough Rider” TT: 515mm (effective) ST: 457mm ¥267,750
First up is the Rough Rider, based on the Sportif. Centered around long-distance riding, this bike also excels in "adventure" style rides like the Rapha Gentlemen’s Race, the Continental Ride, and the Gourmet Century Ride hosted by Chris King. Its standout feature is stable handling even on gravel and rough road surfaces.
Naturally, since it is based on the Sportif, it can accommodate fenders and also swallows slightly wider tires. (It is compatible with long-reach caliper brakes.) You’ll want to go anywhere with this bike on the weekends. This is a highly sought-after size, so act fast!
Next up is a brand new frame: a 26-inch Pump Track Bike. If you’ve been checking our site thoroughly, it might ring a bell. That’s right, this is the bike that our own Mako-chan rides.

They say Rick Hunter has a pump track built in his backyard and spends from dawn till dusk riding it if left to his own devices. That’s a bit of a joke, but pump tracks are all about moving the bike forward simply by pushing and pulling, which is actually quite difficult. However, there is no doubt that this Gopher is the best partner for mastering those skills while having fun.
These days, I find myself wishing I could build a wonderful playground like this. I sometimes daydream about buying land for it, but for an introduction, you can enjoy it at GONZO in Kuwana. I saw this on Strawfoot’s flickr, and it would be great to have something like this.
And just then, a fresh set of patches arrived.
