It uses the "drawnright tubeset ". So we have no idea what the quality of the tubeset is.

Not exactly on topic but Fairdale is a really cool brand. Taj has roots coming from BMX, he was pro during the 90's and early 00's. He is a dude with the utmost ethics... A lot of people have a lot of respect for him, myself included.

Would love to own one.

At a guess it'd be some variation of Ssanko tubing welded up in Taiwan.

Looks nice enough. I just don't understand why you'd get one over a custom Curtlo. Or any number of similar bikes, for that matter...

A shop local to me is a Fairdale dealer. I've ridden some of the other models, but haven't tried this one yet. Looks pretty nicely spec'd, despite the mystery tubing.

bumping this one out of curiosity... would dig any real world experiences with these frames...

I ride a Fairdale Parser as a single speed commuter and I absolutely love it. Never ridden the Goodship, but I would imagine its pretty solid.
