Yay to paper!LCD, LED, CRT and HDTV vs wood pulp.

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.

Product of the dayI have confirmation from a reputable source that this is cute.

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

I wrote a little blog over on the internet (Fairdale site) if you’re interested in some of the behind the scenes here.

@fullfactory is our in-house sales team that sells Fairdale to bike shops. FF also brings @odysseybmx, @sundaybikes, @gsportbmx, and @bsdforever to bike shops in the USA. A bike shop can get anything and everything BMX along with Fairdale Bikes in one spot (and on one order).
