Fairdale Bikes Research and Design Front Derailleur Repurposing Division: Shifting Your PerceptionThe bicycle industry has deemed shifting the front chainrings on your bicycle to be unnecessary. The front derailleur has been declared dead. The Fairdale R&D team has the vision to see that the front derailleur still has plenty of life left in it.

We had the pleasure of working with @newbelgium (again) on this years batch of their custom anniversary bikes, which they give out to employees after working there for a year. Pretty sweet.

These are based around our Ridgemont model and feature New Belgium specific art, spec tweaks and a familiar Fat Tire color palette. We’re stoked on how they came out, so swipe for a closer look 🍻.
