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 you enjoy the @sieben_up & @fairdalebikes Weekender.

Big thanks to @t1stagram for the old photos and video. And @devonhutchins for putting together the video.
Ingredients for a dream project: cool clients, getting to collaborate with friends like @sieben_up , @benjy_mason , @lowfichef and serving up a brand identity that celebrates ‘90s pizza-delivery culture, skateboarding, and a DIY ethos. The result? Shredders Pizza in the Houston Heights! Order a pie after your next session at EZ-7. The good times are here again.

In 2001, I invited @movezine to be in the first show at our gallery in downtown Austin (Camp Fig). I didn’t know Rich, he didn’t know me, and he definitely didn’t know our gallery because we hadn’t even had one show yet. Regardless, he graciously agreed and sent a stack of drawings our way. On his pricelist, it said if the Big Boys showed up they could have anything they wanted. Coincidentally, Tim Kerr @movetk worked across the street at Sweatbox Studio and someone told him to check out the show. I think this might be how Rich and Tim first connected.
Rich passed away recently and I just wanted to share this story because I think it’s a good example of how Rich operated—he was all about participating and building community. The world is a sadder place without him, but we’re all better having known him. My heart goes out to all of his friends and family. Let’s all try to be more like Rich.
Heelflip to fakie over my friend @the_curb_thriller shot by my other friend @frownandstabme . It’s crazy how many friends I have. Like, I literally have almost three.
