Skaterack updateHey, Yes we got a new website going. Simple, informative right? Got some news on the Fairdale Bikes Skaterack. It will be arriving sometime toward the end of May/ early June. Pretty stoked on the thing and its a really simple easy way to carry a skateboard around with you on your bike.

Study of Flying animalsThis is a study on the different ways that animals jump. Well, a study if I ever actually bothered to watch how animals a jump. This is a study of how I imagine animals might jump drawn while watching TV.

Nose-Manual-helpers ReduxYou may remember many months ago on this blog we posted our Probably-Going-To-Patent Nose Manual Helpers. Thankfully we will (probably) patent these things since amazingly in the last 2 weeks two different people followed through with our design plans and actually built the things. The first attempt was delivered via Twitter from Mr. Wallride Guy. […]

A look at our Design Director, Chris Cotsonas’ Goodship build. The Goodship is our steel road bike that Chris rides daily. It sits outside of our main line of bikes as a bit of a special project and explores some of our technical abilities in bicycle manufacturing.

He decked out this build with Chris King bits, an ENVE fork, and an assortment of parts that he knows and trusts.

He’s also running @odysseybmx OPTIS for road. The combination of higher volume tires with lower pressure and the support of a firmer OPTIS inflation has been serving him well. He’s also added @clikvalve to his OPTIS which makes keeping correct pressures a breeze.

Chris rode all through the blistering Austin summer and is surely grateful for some cooler winter temps on shade free roads like these.

Using a steel frame as a base for a collection of proven modern components yields an excellent ride. It’s interesting the way carbon and steel can compliment each other.

Our special Goodship frame is available now.

Ran into BMX legend @jasonenns at the skatepark and got him to do a few Canadians on my new Taj bike. Stoked to see the front brakes put to proper use.

The Taj is a 27.5” BMX bike for cruising around on, and still fun if your “cruise” takes you near the skatepark and dirt jumps. -Taj

A little behind the scenes of the little mascot art on the Goodship frames. I try to give each of the bikes a mascot of some kind. It adds a story and personality to the model. A character to guide the bike. -Taj
