Fairdale Express
Fairdale built the Express with their "Keepin' it simple keeps it fun" mantra, and we can't fault it.
It's a fast machine designed for urban riding, commuting, and most importantly, fun. A key feature of this bike is its riding position; the low-rise mountain bike-style handlebars place you in a commanding and stable stance.
It also features wide Continental Ride Tour tyres, FSA cranks, a simple single-speed drivetrain, and a tough steel frame, rounding out this durable build.
