3 new bottles ➡️➡️➡️ Last day of our Back to School Sale (that is also for people who don’t even go to school).

Free shipping over $100. Softgoods deals. Specials on Macaronis and free Adjust-a-Rack and bottle cages with compatible bikes.

Our Goodship road bike frame is back. It is steel.

Our Goodship road bike frame is back. It is steel.

In a world full of throwaway plastic frames we wanted to build something different. We used Reynolds 725 steel to craft a frame that can be ridden daily with confidence–year after year.

Proven modern appointments make the Goodship practical and fast, without getting caught up in the fickle chase of the latest here-today-gone-tomorrow pro racing tech.

After all, what really matters on a ride is the experience. The feel of the ride, the enjoyment of the ride, and durability to ride again tomorrow. Make it good!

And don’t forget our Back to School Sale (also for people who don’t go to school) is going thru tomorrow. Some good stuff in there.

We don’t have many sales and this is a good one.

We always extend our sales to our bike shop partners too. Dealers should get ahold of @fullfactory and take advantage of this sale.

For my birthday I took all my bikes to the little jumps. I know it’s nothing crazy, but it is pretty cool to me that I can still ride jumps, especially because for years after my back surgery I couldn’t. Now, bit by bit I’ve gotten stronger and I think I ride my DJ the most. But, maybe most important is that I still love riding bikes of any kind! -Taj

Thanks for the fun Elevator, Rockitship, Weekender, Taj, Hareraiser, and @sundaybikes Wavelength.

Rider (Taj) says he’s not high enough, and photographer (Josh Root @evilphotoeye ) says he should have used a flash to make things pop, but we like seeing our Hareraiser DJ in action.

New shirts have arrived! The first shirt I drew (Out of Step) has a clear message. It leans into Minor Threat’s famous words of wisdom, ‘Bow your head in submission to your phone like the rest of us.’ …Or, something like that.

The second shirt (Iron Fairdale) also has a clear message. I drew the word “Fairdale.”

Enjoy some new torso covers!
