Fairdale Taj 27.5 Inch Bike (2023)
Lycra ain't your thing is it? But you want to ride to work and you don't want to be called a ""commuter"" do you? Tear up your streets on the way to the office on the TAJ 27.5 inch wheel bike from Fairdale. You only need a single speed because you're a BMXer for life aren't you? A single speed rider in a skate helmet and a need to send every gutter on the way to work, well this is the bike for you. With the big wheels, it rolls through the city streets fast, and with the big Maxxis tyres, it'll be comfortable, with the opportunity to carve up those short cuts through the park.
Features like 100% CrMo frame and forks means that this rig is built for the toughest conditions that the city throws up to you and with the 6 inch bars, you'll be able to chuck a few wheelies in there on the way home on a Friday afternoon. Maybe even sneak in a stop at the pub to treat yourself for a cheeky IPA before you get home to the realities of life. The Fairdale TAJ is your time to enjoy life to the fullest.
I’m excited to introduce you to my signature bike. The Taj bike has always been about blending the tough and simple sensibilities of a BMX bike with a frame size that you can also comfortably sit down and pedal. This year’s model makes the jump to 27.5” wheels which are still agile enough for playing around, and even better for cruisin’. The frame, fork, handlebars, and cranks are all reliable chromoly. The single-speed drivetrain and Odyssey brakes are as dependable and straightforward as they can possibly be. The Taj is a bike that is fun to ride, made to last and a breeze to keep rolling. I hope you’ll give it a try.”
