  Cick-ass CorgiGot sent this sweet bit of Corgi action from Prollyisnotprobably. Thanks Mr. Prolly!
  Turbo poweredDesigning and spec-ing all the parts on a bike can be a lot of fun. It’s also a constant trade off where you battle with cost vs. quality. You want to use the best quality parts available, but you don’t want to design a bike that is too expensive.
  Fairdale Messenger BagCheck out the Fairdale Messenger Bike Bag (MSRP $69.99). We’ve taken the traditional messenger bag to the next level. Now you can actually carry your messenger bike with you everywhere you go. Let’s face it, riding a fixed gear is hard. Now you can have the style of messenger without having to actually ride the […]
  Perry Doom flashbackPerry Mervar – AFA Austin, TX 1989 from 990Adjustments on Vimeo. I don’t feel like I get to see enough Perry Dooms these days (jumping from back pegs to grip ride). It would be even more impressive with 10 inch tall bars. Its a great run from back in the day, but check 02:19 especially.
  Afro Pat Fairdale ArtI got sent some really cool Fairdale art from my buddy and legendary BMX innovator Afro Pat. Pretty stoked! Bonus: I did a Google image search for Pat Schreader to find a picture of him and it auto corrected my search to Fat Shredder. Hmmmmm….
  Fairdale on Bicycle RetailerFairdale got a little write up over at Bicycle Retailer and we appreciate it very much! Thanks guys.  I want to know why I have to get up so early for work if I’m retired. Check out the story here.
  JC and how bikes are made (now with working link)Jim Cielencki long time BMX pro and head of Sunday Bikes (and a Fairdale rider by the way) has an interview over on ESPN about making bike frames overseas. He’s my office mate here at OTX Design (which house’s the engineering studio for Sunday Bikes, Odyssey, and of course Fairdale). I found it really informative […]
  Sweet new idea for coating bikes (re-up)Death row? Water buffalo.
  Fairdale Dograck (or Catrack)****** Update: REALLY!! Far too many people are leaving annoyed comments. C’mon… It’s a joke!!!! It’s photoshop (and purposely bad photoshop!! I mean, a 130lb lab on a saddle bag?) No dog was ever even lifted off the ground. We love dogs here. Always have, our office is full of them. We understand our photo […]
  Reinventing the WheelI was looking around today for cool ideas and found a few that really deserved to be brought together. We could just be happy riding around on a plain old normal bike or we could invent something totally sweet! F-1 bikes are so ready for a comeback. Can Fairdale make them please please! Imagine Crabon […]
  Peaceful TravelingI know not everyone lives in Austin or gets to ride 3 miles of the 9 miles to work on a quiet bike path along a river, but I sure am grateful I do! Just had one of those days where I can’t understand why anyone would be in a car… well, that and my […]
