If you’re looking for a new 29er this spring, check out the Sklar Tall Tale, which is opening for pre-order ($1,199) this morning…

Live now, Sklar Bikes is launching a pre-order for their highly anticipated mountain bike frame The “Tall Tale” to be delivered in August. The steel hardtail designed around 29 x 2.6” tires and a modern-yet-familiar geometry is up for everyday trail rides, long bikepacking trips and everything in between. Because of Sklar’s small production runs these frames are able to use the finest materials available for superior ride quality and durability.

“Over the past decade of designing and building custom mountain bikes I got to hear first hand what riders are actually looking for in a hardtail” said founder and designer Adam Sklar. “It is really satisfying to see those ideas and design philosophy brought to a more approachable scale with the Tall Tale frame”.

Sklar was one of the first frame builders to push modern mountain bike geometries in the twenty-teens while only offering custom bikes. The Tall Tale’s geometry is a balance of pushing those boundaries with customer feedback from hundreds of custom mountain bike builds. A progressive yet familiar bike that is stable and confidence inspiring while staying lofty and nimble.
