One of our favorite cycling mags Urban Velo just did a nice review on our Weekender bike. It’s a good and thorough review if we do say so ourselves. Thinking about a Weekender? This is for you. And thanks Urban Velo!

Fairdale Weekender Review: Urban Velo October 2, 2012
Interbike/ Texas Toast Jam September 29, 2012
Just last week Fairdale returned from a trip out to Las Vegas to show off our bikes at the big Interbike trade show. The show is primarily for bike shops to check out bike manufacturers like us. We were amazed and flattered by the great response we had from all the shops. Our little booth seemed busy all week and I found it so inspiring all the great compliments folks gave us on our bikes.
Leif’s Devil’s Head weekday Weekender Ride September 17, 2012
Got my new Kelly Green Weekender on a Wednesday. Put it together with haste rode down to the shop and dialed it in, down to Pablo`s for some coffee and hatched a plan for the next day…
Idaho Springs to Mt. Evans weekender ride September 14, 2012
Went for a casual ride from Idaho Springs up to the top of Mt.Evans. The climb from 7,540 ft. to 14,264 ft. elevation takes place on the highest paved road in North America. My imaginary girlfriend Cindy came along firmly attached to the top tube of my Weekender. With her additional moral support I was sure I would make it to the top in record casual time. Far more time than the current record holder Tom Danielson’s unreal time of 1hr 41 min and 20 seconds to the top of Mt. Evans from Idaho Springs.
If you ever do this ride you will appreciate how scorchingly fast that time is for the terrain, Dudeman.
New issue of Paved Magazine and Seattle to San Francisco September 4, 2012
Good news today, we got a copy of the new Paved Magazine with a 14 page article about our trip from Seattle to San Francisco.
Sandy Carson fills the issue with his best nice big glossy photos and your’s truly fills the article with run on sentences (which were thankfully edited to a nice readable length by Paved’s editor and amazing writer Joe Parkin).
New Team Rider: Ryan Worcester August 31, 2012
By no means is the Weekender designed to be ridden on vert ramps… but we think this photo of Ryan is pretty bad ass.
He produced this nice video of riding his Weekender around Maui. It really captures the enjoyment of a good day out pedaling and the fun and adventures you can have.Check out more of Ryan on his Team page
