Display all complete finally and on the floor at BSS. For Fairdale Premier Dealers we I built this bike display. The little sign thing is easy to replace and it adjusts to fit all sizes of our bikes. Came out pretty neat I think. This one is heading down to Bicycle Sport Shop here in Austin. You should become a Fairdale dealer (if you are bike shop). Hit up Full Factory Distribution.
Fairdale friend Ryan Worcester is helping some kids out with a skatepark. Looks like a really cool program. The kids get to learn how to run the park, maintain the park and of course have fun at the park. There’s a little video on the kickstarter page that’s worth a watch here. Sandy Carson launched an entirely rebuilt website. It’s pretty amazing with in depth looks at some of his projects. I especially like (and am disturbed by) the “Just Do It” project feed that the photo above is from. Check out Sandy’s work here.
Adam Butler is hosting an individual time-trial race up Austin’s Mt. Bonnell this Sunday. All proceeds from the race will be going to the American Red Cross. Get out there and pedal your butt up a hill, or cheer on the riders. If you’re lucky you might walk away with a brand new Fairdale frame and fork set! Check out details of the race here.
Well, this photo is from a secret project and you haven’t heard about it yet, but it’s on Vice so go nuts and pretend you aren’t reading about it… Michael Sieben’s Kill The Engine. … and don’t tell anyone.
Our buddy Seth Holton sent us a couple pics of his Fairdale working on a sunny day in Seattle. Good to see the bike holding up to real world messenger work. Thanks for the photos Seth!
There’s a nice test ride review/ interview about the Fairdale Parser Express over on the Bicycle Sport Shop blog. Check it out here.
I arrived in Taiwan after what had to have been a 47 hour flight. I simply do not fit in airplane seats and it made the flight seem longer then ever. Hurry up and buy a bunch of Fairdales so I can buy a sailboat for next time I travel. Once I finally hit the hotel I rewarded myself with a Taiwan Beer. People wonder what it’s like in Taiwan and all I can say is that it’s pretty much like here except that 7-11’s don’t have Slurpee machines but do have boiling cauldrons of eggs in them… … and some random street art that might not fly here in the states. At the bike show I saw the new Fit bike model. It’s a pretty big departure from what we’re used to seeing from fit but I guess change is cool. I picked up about 100 catalogs. I was especially on the hunt for tires for a new Fairdale model I’m working on. Oddly enough the Innova (IRC) catalog had me in it! This isn’t the exact photo obviously but more or less the same thing… I think the one they used in the catalog was from the Worlds in 2000. If they have a tire I want to use I’ll expect a discount., ha ha! This is an interesting item I found at the show. A magazine holder so you can read while riding. Here’s some tires I turned down for Fairdales, but they might be on Darryl Nau’s bike soon! I’m not one of those retro BMX guys but these throwback Kuwaharas were pretty sweet! Linsanity is so huge in Taiwan. Someone even managed to make Linsanity grips in time for the show. Choking the chicken?! Lunch at the show was questionable. You wouldn’t expect to find a lot of Man Gel at a bike show, but here it is. And why not a little something for the ladies. Hell, while were at it why not get yourself some dragon and zoo animal gel too! Zeronine has changed directions a bit since making BMX racing leathers in the 80’s. I thought the wooden pedals were pretty classy. The weird metal one looked like it might be made from that little box from the Hellraiser movies. Eye of the tiger!! I would be so fast with these bars staring back at me. One of my favorite things in Taiwan are all the awesome scooter slogans. I added this one to my collection. Here’s a bunch more from last year. I am forever entertained by misspelled T-shirts like this one… This is a warning to keep children’s hands out of subway doors with Mr Pringle.
This year, Fairdale’s product line will grow immensely. We are bringing in enough new models to satisfy almost every cyclists needs, which in turn will help us spread some of the magic around. We are looking for International Bicycle Distributors (we’re looking at you Europe) to help us with the launch of our new products. We would like to work with some cool companies to help spread some Fairdales around the world. Please contact info@fairdalebikes.com if you are interested in working with Fairdale, or have suggestions about who we should work with in different countries around the world. Thanks! Remember… Every Pedal Moves You Closer.
Today I did an image search for Fairdale and found these… Yup, that’s the Fairdale x Riot bike. Here’s a Fairdale just waiting for an earthquake so it can fall of its bike rack and destroy 5 lesser road bikes in one motion. This Fairdale wheel is used to cage this murderous hell hound. This Fairdale got dipped in copper because gold was a bit too show-off-ey. This Fairdale belongs to a properly decent gentleman. New bike smile! Bad Boy Club pose with center pull brakes. This bike made an awful pogo stick. This one decided to sit back and relax, and this one got fast, and this one got dirty. A skateboard on board, and a pizza delivered. A pro bmxer’s seat angle, and a pro BMXer’s cranks. A decked out build with more of those center pull brakes. A comfy BMX bar build with 4 fingered levers.
