Roger Skateboards X Fairdale Bikes

Let’s face it, bicycles can look ridicules with a skateboard. Luckily, there have been a few industry collaborations to help rectify the embarrassment of undersized BMX’s or huge suspensions. Last summer was the Linus 4-Star mash up, and this fall it’s the amazing Fairdale collaboration with Roger Skateboards. So when Color contributor Roger Allen saw his namesake in the store window of a Vancouver bicycle store - excitement set in and he demanded we share this with our viewers.

This is the debut of the Coaster style bike, and Sieben did all the graphics and the video promos. Sieben chose the color scheme and graphics, and the overall look of Fairdale bike is really cool. But the best part is this bike comes equipped with a skaterack and matching skateboard for no hassles while commuting. There are only 50 of these bikesavailable so the quicker you get one the quicker it can get ripped off!

We got to speak with Jim Bauer of Odyssey BMX for a bit more info on how this all came together. Here's what he had to say.

"Sieben is a long time friend of Taj Mihelich (leader of Fairdale Bikes) so both being neighbors in Austin, the Roger collab was a no brainer. . We have loved Sieben art forever, so we jumped at the chance to get in on our bikes."
