  Taj’s Custom Elevator BuildMy personal build of our Elevator frameset. I went for the very on-trend silver parts kit look that turned out to be even more "on-trend" than I expected, as it seemed like...

  Transmission for your ElevatorSetting up Eagle Transmission on your Elevator? 32t chainring: 112 chain links, set up position A on the 21t cog.
  Research and Design From Years AgoBack in the simpler times of 2014 (when Mongoose only made rollerblades), we had the idea to make some bikes out of wood. Fender even sent us a bass to make a bike out of, and it even worked (for a few minutes). Leif showed up in his jumpsuit and...
  The Magic of MacaroniOur Macaroni is a special bike. We worked hard to design a bike that would better fit young riders. Creating the Macaroni started with a look at our little brother brand, Sunday Bikes. Whereas the Sunday starter bikes focus on doing tricks and getting rad, Macaronis are all about stability and the joy of pedaling a bike.
  Taj’s ElevatorOur Elevator MTB frame has one of the shortest rear ends ever for a 29er. This trend-bucking feature makes the bike feel very lively. With such an active frame, finessing the bike is the fun part. On the Elevator, any trail at any speed is entertaining.

  Fairdale x Zilker / Weekender Nomad MXShoutout to our friends at Zilker Beer for inviting us back for another seasonal collaboration. This time we landed on a citrusy and refreshing Hop Water, with custom can art courtesy of Taj Mihelich of course.
  New Shirts and a Hat!Some new stuff from @Taj Mihelich’ sketchbook that we turned into softgoods.
  Fairdale Goes to Ray’s on a TuesdayIt kinda' went like this: "There's a new colorway of the Hareraiser, we should make a video for it." "Let's take it to Ray's." "I've still never been there." "Oh man, you have to go! Let's just make it an office trip."
  Taj in the WoodsMountain biking is so much more than vertigo inducing GoPro footage, life threatening speed and laser guided seat posts. I love that my bike carries me away from the noise of the world and out into the peace of the woods.
  Taj and his HareraiserNothing to see here, just Taj Mihelich shredding the new Hareraiser dirt jumper.
