In the early days of Sklar Bikes, Adam shared a space with Alter Cycles of Bozeman, Montana. Alter is one of those rare bicycle shops that really feels like a clubhouse where everyone's welcome. The first time I visited Adam, I met Mason Griffin, owner of Alter, and got to know her over the course of the next few years as our paths crossed and we rode mountain bikes together. Mason is a ripping rider with a sly sense of humor and a heart of gold. Alter is the first shop to carry Sklar Bikes, and it's a pleasure to introduce them to you in our next installment of Take Me to Your Dealer.

We just finished up a new SuperSomething XL complete build, and it turned out too good not to share. If you’re on the taller side and have been hunting for a gravel bike that actually feels like it fits, this one might be worth a look.

We're making a Sklar Rack! We are testing the first factory samples right now and making a few more revisions before we finalize the design. These racks are going to fit the PBJ perfectly. They'll also fit great on your Tall Tale, SuperSomething, and other bikes with rack mounts on the seat stays! 

I am still buzzing from a really fun bike-filled weekend here in San Francisco. It all started on Thursday with a trip to Fairfax for the Appetite Seminar. I was told that this year was the 50th anniversary of the Thanksgiving day ride that goes from town up Pine Mountain and back down. This year we opted to take the Tamarancho flow trail down which was a real treat and honestly so, so fun on my rigid singlespeed PBJ. That bike is such a capable mountain bike with just the right amount of flex. I love it so much.
