  A story from Taj about why Fairdale startedSome months ago The Ride Journal  asked me to write a little story about Fairdale. Funnily enough they had seen our momentarily viral R+D video and wanted to know more about what we were all about. Though I expect they were hoping for something as goofy as that video I gave them a much more sincere version […]
  New custom bike day for TajI built up a Weekender frame and fork set with some fancy parts. It’s a special treat to myself since I’m usually a riding a bike with an assortment of miss-mathced sample parts. I started with our Weekender frameset in Electro Silver (available now).
  Preview of some 2016 modelsOur 2016 bikes won’t be available to you until Novemeber, but BMX Cruisers posted up some info on a couple of our 2016 models for you to preview.

  Jeff Berres rides the Fairdale TajJeff actually owns a fleet of Fairdales but one of his favorite ones to ride is the Fairdale Taj. With 100% chromoly frame, fork, crank and bars, the Taj can handle some real BMX action, but don’t overlook its cruising potential. Built with sturdy BMX parts this bike is meant to last. It’s the perfect […]
  The Taj has a Potts ModOne of the features on the Taj bike is that it has a Potts Mod. This early 80’s BMX innovation can sometimes be confusing to younger riders and mechanics who weren’t even alive back when this doo-dad was popular.
  2015 Taj VideoThe 2015 Taj is Taj Mihelich’s signature bike. With nostalgic roots to its BMX predecessor, this bike is quite possibly the simplest and most indestructible bike in the Fairdale 2015 line-up. It’s also one of the most fun 26″ bikes available. It’s the perfect bike for rad dads (or moms!) and just about anybody else […]
  2015 Taj: ExplainedThe TAJ is a bit of a special project bike for us…. well, maybe it would be better to say it’s a special project bike for me! Because it’s got my name on it. Here’s a trick I learned about being a bike designer, put your name on the bike and claim it as a “Signature […]
  Drawings postHere’s a flipbook of a bunch of sort of recent drawings from Taj.
  Limited run of Military Blue Taj BikesA surprise summer shipment of a small number of Taj bikes in the coveted Military Blue colorway arrive next week. Hit up our in-house distributor Full Factory to order one (or tell your favorite bike shop to)!  
  Fun times flat track racingA friend sent us this video by Kei Yanagisawa of some good ol’ flat track racing. I think we need more of this kind of thing in our lives! Looks like such a good time. And of course, stoked to see a Taj taking some wins!
  Fairdale at QBP’s FrostbikeFairdale was just up at QBP’s Frostbike show (a show for bike shops folks to see the new products). Check out the above photo and more of the fun in an awesome photo gallery over at Prolly Is Not Probably’s blog. We showed off this Taj frame and fork built up with a bunch of great […]
