Built-in Headset detail December 2, 2011
I’ve mentioned the built-in headset race on our Fairdale Parser forks once before. On a recent trip by a bike shop I saw they had built up one of our frame kits and tried to force the headset race on to the forks. Essentially built-in races are pretty standard in the BMX world, but not so much in the road world. I guess we caught the shop off guard with how convenient this little feature is. This tiny bit of machining allows us to simplify bike assembly more then most people are used to.
Catching up… December 1, 2011
This year is flying by! Seems like not long ago Fairdale was just a blog full of dum drawings. Now we have a couple models of bikes out that are finally starting to take off. Skaterack is rocking and also now on our webstore and for bike shops it’s also headed to QBP any day now. Been working hard on 4 new models we have launching early next year.

Leif Valin’s Daily Adventure November 18, 2011
Leif Valin wrote a very entertaining story about his daily commute. Leif is surely one our most favorite riders and now he has become one of our favorite writers as well. He puts into words what we see on our daily commute. If it’s by car the best you can hope for is to get home without being more stressed out by terrible drivers. When we make the trip by bike at least you feel like you did something and usually it’s pretty fun.
