Inside Fairlight Cycles - Frame Preparation

- Before we ship a frameset, or build a bike, we fully ream, face, tap all threads and faces. Our production team treat each and every build as if it was their own. 'Care' is a word we talk about a lot in this business. From design through to finished products on the shelves, we care deeply about everything we do. It feels good sending products out into the world knowing that we've tried to do our best work at every stage of the process.
Here is our production manager Janos preparing a Strael 3.0 Putty frameset, before we ship it to its new owner.

That is agile! Asked the team at Fairlight on Friday about this specific process. Now they posted a video. Must be a good company to work for too. Chapeau!
Happiest day of my life seeing that box delivered to my front door.
Thinking about one of these as my next bike, they look good and that's a very impressive stapler!
I bought a Strael and a Secan about 3 years ago and love these bikes. Indeed the preparation was awesome and perfect. My old fixed-gear bike has outlived it's life and I decided to strip it and add a new frame to my collection. I purchased a Fixie frame from State Bicycle, a USA domestic manufacturer that has a pretty good reputation. As I was building up the frame, I realized just how wonderful the Fairlight frame prep was.
This is in no way a slur on the State Fixie, which is beautiful and a nice ride. I did, however, notice all the additional labor that I had to put into the assembly, chasing threads, filing a few burrs, replacing the mounting bolts with something a little more artistic, etc...
The Fairlight Framesets did cost 3 times at about $1000 US (each!!) A good example of getting what you pay for, but in this case it turned out just fine.
Can't fait for my frameset to arrive in November. Now that I see this video, it's even harder counting the days I'll be able to build up the Strael 3.0
Mine is due in December. Stoked.
Llevo ocho días montando una Secan 2.5 54T, Deep Blue. Tremendamente cómoda, ágil, y corresponden tal cual prometen en su página con todas las características. Gran empresa constructora de bicicletas!
Awesome. Do mine next :) do you apply framesaver ?
Can’t wait!
Wait, you need to print a label with my address on 😂
Spraying an automotive cavity was is a good idea before you build up your new steel frame. Did that to my Strael 2.0 when it arrived!
can't wait for mine. march 2023
Please if you can…not even SJS cycles or SON have a video up… please make a video on how to correctly solder the SON junction box and get polarity perfect. It’s designed to connect both a charging device and run lights at same time while only having one wire up the fork. Thank god a video went up for coaxial connector but as soon as i plug in my jack to my usb port my lights turn off. Cant figure out if it’s the junction box improperly wired or the separate jack i soldered. Really annoyed due to sheer cost of setup and zero info. I do own alot of the same soldering items like yourself from SON to try and remain using dynamo systems possibly selling complete kits as a side job
Are all framesets ordered prepped like this ?
So all the dwarf is left in the frame for the future owner?
The website is undergoing maintenance................
Its pity that we need to pay 14% in extra tax after Brexit when we buy and send to Sweden
I think I’m right in saying that if you collected the bike you’d only pay 4%. But your flight etc would negate this saving unless you are travelling to the UK anyway 🤷♂️
@@sonyvaioboy its 14% because it’s not welded in England , country of origin is Asia, if it was welded and made from scratch in England it would be zero tax
Would definitely cost more than 14% more to buy if it was welded in the UK
