We’ve compiled a special package from Sklar Bikes plus some of our favorite brands for a November package to one lucky Group Ride Membership supporter…

Daniel Yang from Neuhaus Metalworks, Artefact, and Yang MFG lends a helping hand to countless builders. From helping Meriwether design the complex bends for a unique fat bike to aiding in chainstay yoke and unique dropout designs, he has his hands in a lot. Including, unboxing a shipping container full of Tall Tale hardtails with Adam Sklar.

Watch as Daniel unboxes a box inside of an unboxing. Then he interviews, Adam Sklar, CEO/CMO/CFO of Sklar Bikes.

Our friends at Sklar Bikes have some exciting news today: the steel “Tall Tale” 29er hardtail mountain bike and the new aluminum handlebar called the “PBJ Bar” are available and shipping now! Let’s look at the details of both below…

In Sklar Bikes‘ latest video, Adam fabricates a custom segmented steel bicycle fork. He talks elements of fork design, machine and brazes the crown and then tig welds it all together.

Check out this quick tour of the Sklar Bikes workspace where custom, one-off bike frames are fabricated. This is also where Adam designs and build prototypes for the production Sklar Bikes like the SuperSomething, Tall Tale and PBJ. In the latest video from the Sklar Bikes workshop, Adam says a quick hello to neighbors Piecemeal Vintage, Billings Cycle Works and Pass and Stow Racks…

Sklar Bikes is ramping up its YouTube channel and Adam just posted this process video of him building a frame from start to finish on Friday. We thought it was so good that we had to share it on a Monday. Check it out and subscribe to Sklar Bikes if you dig this sort of content (we do!)

Our buddy Adam from Sklar Bikes made the move from Bozeman to California and Calling in Sick Magazine swung through for a quick video visit of his new space.

Sklar Bikes‘ component line is ramping up this year and the first new product are these nifty Sklar Bikes titanium bottle cages that feature 15 mm of vertical adjustment thanks to the long slotted mounting plates. That allows you to adjust them to make room on smaller frames or for a framebag. They’re bent from titanium which is our favorite material for a bottle cage, thanks to the springy nature of the material, ti cages grab your bottles tightly, avoiding them jettisoning on a rocky descent.

Sklar Bikes Titanium Bottle Cage Specs:

Price: $68 each/$100 pair
Weight: 32 g
Adjustability: 15mm
Made in: Taiwan

See more at Sklar Bikes, where they just got in more stock of their titanium seatpost too!

Josh is letting his custom Sklar go on our Rad Bazaar…

Today, we’ve got a fine selection of used (and new) goods from the Rad Bazaar, our Group Ride subscribers‘ selling platform, featuring some unique offerings. Let’s check it all out!

Fat bikes are strange birds in the cycling world, with their crazy-wide q-factors and monster clearances, but they are also extremely capable platforms that lend room for a lot of creativity. As an arctic blast sweeps across much of the US, and snow blankets our favorite Southwest trails, we’re taking a look back at our ten favorite fat-bike reviews from the last few years. You’ll see a few of the usual suspects from Surly, but we’re also resurrecting one-off creations from the archives and even a Readers’ Ride. Drop into the comments and let us know how you’re getting ‘Fat’ this winter!
