I thought I heard someone in the other room say thisI think this is the good thing about working with headphones on… sometimes you hear things. Like this, I could swear I just heard someone in the other office say “Back to Fallopian tubes”. They didn’t say anything even close to that, but gave me a giggle.

Everybody flinches when you stretch a rubber band at themAnd if you do could you please buy me one of these??? I really really want one.

I posted about our new Monty Truck shirt in youth sizes last week and they sold out instantly. We’ll do more youth size shirts soon. But, did you know that adults too can wear a sweet Monty Truck shirt? Available on soft, comfy tri-blend shirts in both teal or royal blue. AND, we brought back our Vanquish t-shirt. Conquer with a carrot!

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).

Sieben & Fairdale collection available now!

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.

-Taj

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.
