The Sieben and Fairdale collection is now live! Check out the video on yesterday’s post for more info, or slide through these images of @sieben_up’s art bike version of our extra excellent to ride Weekender Nomad MX.

The Weekender is fun to ride with long-lasting durable components. Make it a work horse for daily transportation, throw a skaterack onto it, or let it bring the smiles as a neighborhood cruiser–the Weekender line is very adaptable. This special art bike model features original artwork by Michael Sieben and is available now in limited quantities. Stop by a bike shop to order yours, or check the full collection on our website (on the internet).

Welcome to our new artist bike by Michael Sieben. We are huge fans of Mr. Sieben and are honored to feature his work.

Many years ago, I worked with Michael at my old BMX company, T-1 [Terrible One]. Michael was amazing as our art director. He had an endless amount of creativity and good humor. It was always inspiring to be around him. And, it still is!

Now, 25-ish years later, I get to work with Michael again. This time, he turned our Weekender Nomad MX model into an artist bike. The bike is one of our favorite models, and it means a lot to us. The Weekender line is what Fairdale is all about–a bike that cycling nerds like us and our friends who maybe haven’t spent their lives obsessing over bikes all love to ride. Adorned with original Michael Sieben art, this deluxe Weekender MX artist model is extra super special.

Thanks to Mr. Sieben for being part of the project. We hope you enjoy the @sieben_up & @fairdalebikes Weekender.

Big thanks to @t1stagram for the old photos and video. And @devonhutchins for putting together the video.

SRAM T-Type Eagle Transmission on your Elevator? @leifiel and @tajlucas have been running versions of this drivetrain on their Elevators for years (thanks to some early prototype versions and the newer mechanical Eagle 90). We wrote a little blog about the set up over on the website. Or, if you’re in a hurry 32t: 112 links, set up position A, 21t cog. 30/28t? 110 links.

We love seeing your custom builds! @nordic_cyclist

A throwback to the simpler times of 2014. On a whim we built a bunch of weird bikes out of 2x4’s and rode them around in this R&D video. @leifiel and @tajlucas and Monty bravely tested them. @hellok1k0 turned it into this video.

Keepin’ it simple keeps it fun. That’s our motto, and it could be yours, too, on the Ridgemont.

A bike ride can be a much needed reset—a chance to clear your head and enjoy simplicity.

Just step outside, hop onboard, and enjoy.

Our Ridgemont in black retails for $599 (USA). It’s a simple steel bike that comes in two sizes and has eight gears. It’s a fun bike to ride. That’s really the end of the story.
