- 4130 Chromoly goodness, a RAD company with a great vibe....Yeah that's Fairdale. I wanted a gravel / explorer bike that was different from the BIG BOXES and not a Surly ..... I fell in love with Fairdale ... Take a watch and hear me talk about why I decided on this whip

I'm a roadie and got in a rut. Started going off road and it gave me a new enthusiasm for cycling again. There aren't that many trails near where I live but it's nice to be able to mix it up whenever I feel.
absolutely !!! ride a bike everyday and just grin ear to ear
I think everybody needs a gravel bike exploration/cruising/adventure machine.
Yes I agree everyone needs 4 bikes, Mtb, Dj, gravel and road!!
I love this bike especially one with MX bars. A little bit bit too high priced in my opinion
Been riding a weekender archer (chose for the flat bar as don’t get along w drops) for the past 2 years and love it. The main things I wish were different on the weekender were through axles and would love a bit more tire clearance, got some 2.25’s on there at the min which just about fit as long as the wheels are running true, but would be nice to go up to 2.4-2.5. In retrospect I probably should’ve gone with the mx model for the drivetrain upgrades but the cheaper microshift stuff has treated me pretty well.
Thru axles would be killer. I think a 142 spaced rear would be nice as well ( more hub options) but all in all a hella fun bike to ride!!
Was looking for something exactly like this, lo and behold, relatively inexpensive bike company making good stuff in my city??
Curious though why you specifically wouldnt want a Surly for the same job though
I wanted something different. I like unique
If you had the chance to compare side by side Fairdales are built with lighter steel tubing than Surly. Makes for a more lively fun ride. I have both and was only thinking about touring loads for the Surly so stout tubing made sense.
@@m.talley1660I’ve ridden both and I do like both but the Fairdale is even more unique than having a Surly. Like I mentioned I like unique stuff
My first Nomad was a 2018, should have never sold it. I do have a Nomad Mx now with the flat bars. Looking to get into another drop bar bike again. These Faidales are really slept on in the gravel bike world.
