The Lookfar will happily get you where you need to go. And, it'll make you want to ride even when you don't have to go anywhere. That's the thing about a good bike; mundane commutes are fun, and riding for pure joy of riding a bike is a new pastime. The Lookfar has 8 easy-to-use gears operated by one thumb shifter. Wide reliable tires are fast on the road and big enough to handle rough terrain. The Lookfar's durable steel frame shares geometry with our Weekender model, known for its all-day comfort. - Durable steel frame with rack and fender mounts - Gloss Toothpaste is available in X-Small–Medium - Matte Black is available in Small–Large - SRAM 1x8 drivetrain

The Ridgemont is a bit of an oddball bike that we think is both practical and enjoyable. When the bike path ends, the Ridgemont keeps going with 2.0" wide 27.5" tires and stable MX bars. The laidback and rugged steel frame makes the bike both comfortable and strong. The hills are tamed by 8 easy-to-use gears that you pick with just one click of your thumb. Not a "normal" around town bike, nor a hardcore mountain bike, the Ridgemont is a bike that is simply fun to ride where ever you end up.

It is combined with nine easy-to-use gears, road-smoothing high-volume tires, the all-weather stopping power of disc brakes, and a commanding riding position thanks to Archer handlebars. The Weekender has geometry to work with 27.5 x 2.0” tires, and also leaves plenty of space for compatibility with 700c wheels if you ever feel like changing it up.

The Fairdale Weekender Nomad MX's nine-syllable name might not roll off the tongue, but it will roll over pretty much anything else with style. We based this bike loosely on some of our employee's custom builds. It has the massive range, and smooth shifting of the Weekender Nomad's SRAM Apex drivetrain mated to our MX handlebar's more upright riding position. The rugged Chromoly steel Weekender frame adapts to this fun-to-ride configuration happily and makes short or long rides a blast. This model is an in-house favorite, and we think it could be yours too. The MX features the Weekender’s geometry that is built around 27.5 x 2.0” tires, and also leaves plenty of space for compatibility with 700c wheels if you ever feel like changing it up. - 100% chromoly frame and fork with rack, fender, and two sets of water bottle mounts - Sizing: Medium: 5'7" - 5'10" height / Large: 5'9" - 6'1" height / X-Large: 6'1"+ height - Bottom bracket: English 68 - Approximate Max Tire Width 27.5"/650b: 54mm
