Sieben & Fairdale Collection available now!

Welcome to our new artist bike by Michael Sieben. We are huge fans of Mr. Sieben and are honored to feature his work.

Many years ago, I worked with Michael at my old BMX company, T-1 [Terrible One]. Michael was amazing as our art director. He had an endless amount of creativity and good humor. It was always inspiring to be around him. And, it still is!

Now, 25-ish years later, I get to work with Michael again. This time, he turned our Weekender Nomad MX model into an artist bike. The bike is one of our favorite models, and it means a lot to us. The Weekender line is what Fairdale is all about–a bike that cycling nerds like us and our friends who maybe haven't spent their lives obsessing over bikes all love to ride. Adorned with original Michael Sieben art, this deluxe Weekender MX artist model is extra super special.

Thanks to Mr. Sieben for being part of the project. We hope all of you enjoy the Sieben & Fairdale Weekender.

Fairdale Weekender Nomad MX

The Weekender Nomad MX is a fun and practical BMX inspired bike and 100% Fairdale.

The MX version of the Weekender is made to travel. While it can easily handle being a weekday commuter on rough city roads, it really shines when you take it for a long haul.

The Weekender MX's 100% 4130 chromoly frame and fork will welcome virtually anything that you can throw at it. This is our top of the line Weekender, and it comes equipped with an amazing parts build, like a SRAM Apex 1x derailleur and shifter, Avid disc brakes, SRAM Apex 1 cranks and Continental semi-knobby tires.

The MX features the Weekender’s redesigned geometry that is built around 27.5 x 2.1" tires, and also leaves plenty of space for compatibility with 700c wheels if you ever feel like changing it up.

Gloss Turquoise available in Medium and Large.
