Fairdale's Taj Mihelcih's signature model has always been about blending the tough and simple sensibilities of a BMX bike with a frame size that lets you comfortably sit down and pedal. The 2023 version continues that but now with an vibrant Matte Fire Engine Red colourway and 27.5" wheels, which are still agile enough for playing around and even better for cruising. The frame, fork and handlebars are all made from reliably durable chromoly. The single-speed drivetrain and Odyssey brakes are as dependable and straightforward as they can possibly be. High quality Odyessey parts, like their Twisted PC Pedals, Springfield Brakes, Quik-Slic Kable and Monolevers, make the Taj feel even more reliable. The Taj is a bike that is fun to ride, made to last and a breeze to keep rolling. ###section### Product Specs FRAME MATERIAL: 100% Track Certified Chromoly WHEEL SIZE: 27.5" TOP TUBE LENGTH: 23" CHAIN STAY LENGTH: 437mm (17.20") HEADTUBE ANGLE: 71° SEAT TUBE ANGLE: 71° FORKS: 100% Chromoly.

Words from Taj- ''This book is 164 pages of my cartoons and doodles. There is a bunch of bicycle comics (including a number from Sunday Comics with Taj series on Pinkbike), lots of low- brow humor, dad jokes, questionable puns, and some things that are probably only funny to me. There's a few things I'm actually serious about, but hopefully you can't tell, and even a few essays. I call it a collection of not-too-artsy-fartsy work I've done over the last few years (though, there are a few fart jokes)".
