  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.
  Fun event coming up from LOOPThe Project Loop is a pretty amazing group that among other things is teaching kids from the local high school how to build a pump track. If only dirt jump building had been an option on my high school curriculum! They also helped us out at the Texas Toast Jam with a lot of helpful […]
  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.
  Fairdale’s new dealer in the UK. Sibot BMXSibot BMX in the UK just stocked up on some Fairdales. Pretty stoked to see this stuff getting out worldwide. I highly recommend checking out this cool shop: Sibot BMX . Thanks for supporting us too!
  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 […]
  Death Race 5KC Badger and the Daggers are putting on Death Race 5 in Tempe, AZ. Fairdale is adding to the loot pile for the winners.  Should be a good one!
  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 […]
  National biking with a bag race in AustinThe North American Cycle Courier Championships were held in Austin this past weekend. I spent the weekend out at the races trying to understand what was going on and enjoying the fun.
  Texas Toast Jam 2Tomorrow I am touring Austin trying to nail down next year’s venue for Texas Toast Jam. We’re thinking the event will be in spring sometime but no date is yet confirmed. It is happening though! The big question is what will we do this year? Like, for real, what the hell are we going to […]
  Get a Fairdale Print Zine 2Fairdale zine 2 is a very limited print run. There’s a handful of them in Austin if you’d like to pick one up. After they sell out we’ll put it up as a online version, but its always cooler to have a print version of a zine. 68 pages this time! If you’re in the […]
