Anyone here riding a fairweather frame?

They got some sweet nitto and panaracer stuff custom made for them.

I like it.

Nicest cable hanger for threadless steerer tube I have ever seen

Altho they describe themselves as 'allegiant'...??

Velo Orange sells their tires. People love them.
I will likely buy a set when I switch to my gravel frame.

People often associate 'Asian bike stuff' together, Taiwan/China and Japan but having lived in Japan, there is a some really beautiful, unique, interesting bike (and other)stuff from Japan.

seen a lot of their gear and bikes in person here at lbs very very nice stuff. imo their bags are not Revelate level of OCD detail but they are very good for the price. I wouldn't hesitate to try some of their cool looking tires because the stuff coming out of panaracer as of late is exceptional

ps their frames come out of toyo same place riv has some of their frames or previously had some of their frames done at

Their CX frames.... I see Sycip influences... not just the segmented seatstays but the color palette too.

bought their bullmoose bar for an upright commuter build of my Surly Crosscheck. Nice piece of metal. The price is agreeable too, but the $30 shipping from Japan to NC was a bit of a sting.

Noticed that Chris King passed through their distributor shop Blue Lug today while making the rounds before the upcoming Gourmet Century Japan.

Which shop in LA carries Fairweather products? I've been interested in the bags but would love to see one in person...

King Kog in Oakland stocks some of their bags. They should be able to get something else too.

Right out of the bat the "track" bike they sell is not what the model name says... I would have put the name.... "city fix" or something like that.

You could ride that around a track :)

I've always assumed they were a house brand/affiliate of Blue Lug (http://bluelug.com/). Mebbe, mebbe not.

They do have some NICE stuff! The Nitto stems and road bars look great and may find a home on my steel 'Lugi once I can get the fit dialed in. Even the CX crankset would've been perfect had I not already picked up a nice Ritchey off the forum!

Thanks for the heads up!
