I'm a bit of a sucker for black & white photography. It's a shame that it has virtually no practical application in the era of social media. But when Craig decided he wanted to build a fully blacked-out Slacker, that was all the excuse I needed.
This is the bike Craig will be racing at Redbull Hardline this year. We might tweak a few thins here and there as he puts more time into it, so for now this is really just a first look. But a bike as nice as this really is worth a look... So we'll let the pictures do the talking for now.








Slackers, Edits and Fades are all available in our matte black powder coat finish, so if you want to do a build like this, you can.
Ed is the owner of Airdrop Bikes. A former web and graphic designer, he sacked off his job one day and decided to start up a bike brand.
Comments will be approved before showing up.

What's in stock now, and when can you preorder a Fade, and Edit or a Slacker? This is the February stock update.

Andy is leaving Airdrop Bikes for bigger and better (well, bigger anyway) things. We're going to go back to being a three-man brand, but we're also stoked for Andy.

Rockshox recently released the Pike DJ to the new Electric Red colour. We like to make sure that we keep our bikes up to date, so we took the opportunity to give the Fade Core a bit of a refresh.
