THE BADSHIP: Ridden & Reviewed July 14, 2015

FairdaleBadship_FaceComplete

Bicycle Sports Shop wrote up a review talking about our latest creation, The Badship. This one of  a kind specially painted Goodship frame and fork also got a special part build (and so we named it the Badship). They had the pleasure of sailing around on this black beauty for about a week, and you can read about their experience by clicking HERE. It’s also full of great insight into our Goodship frame and fork too:

“…But the bike is also point and shoot. Aim the Goodship at a turn and counter steer a bit and the bike holds a line like it’s nobody’s business. At speed or cruising town, the Goodship capably does what’s asked of it when it comes to handling. And that holds true out at the Driveway Series as well. Hanson at the Lamar store has a Goodship that stepped on the podium a few weeks back. Not for nothing but he rolled away from a bevy of guys on the latest aero everything and just missed the win taking second. All aboard a Goodship.”

Check out the full review and keep in mind the Badship will be auctioned off for a charity Aug.1 so it could be yours!

And thanks to BSS, SRAM, and Zipp for making the Badship reality.

PS I just mistyped “Badship” as “BARship”. Could be a new bar cruising model!!

 

 

 

 

Fairdale x Bicycle Sport Shop / Badship July 13, 2015

We gave you guys a sneak peek of the Badship last week, and now we have a video showing you guys some of the hand-painting process and custom build that went into this one of a kind Fairdale Goodship.

The Badship’s components were selected by Bicycle Sport Shop with help from our friends at SRAM and ZIPP. Some key features include:

  • Full SRAM Force 22 drivetrain with a compact crankset and an 11-28 cassette
  • Zipp Service Course SL cockpit and seat post
  • Zipp 30 aluminum clincher wheels
  • Zipp Service Course road bar wrap
  • Zipp Tangente clincher tires
  • Fizik Kurve saddle

The Badship could easily retail $4,500 and it will be auctioned off the evening of August 1st at the ABGB as part of the Bicycle Sport Shop’s and TexasBikeRacing.com’s El Diablo’s Poker Dash & Bash. Auction Proceeds will benefit the Texas High School Mountain Bike League.
