  Taj Bikes in the WildSome Taj bikes are popping up on the internets today. Above is our team rider Leif shooting around the curved wall ride out at Sea Otter.

  A story from Taj about why Fairdale startedSome months ago The Ride Journal  asked me to write a little story about Fairdale.

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 […]

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 […]
