Sklar - Tall Tale Frameset

The Tall Tale is a simple yet capable bike. Capability comes from thoughtfully chosen geometry and carefully selected materials that allow this bike to be fun for all your mountain biking adventures. When it comes to simplicity a hardtail takes the cake and it is really the only choice for a rider who would rather spend their time out on the trail in peace than maintaining bearings or dealing with creaks as those oh-so-fun full suspensions do. Whether it's a quick ride before work for some speedy fun, loading up your fanny pack with snacks for an all-day weekend adventure, packing it up with bags for a multi-week bikepacking trip, or just spending a night in the woods – this is the bike for it all. Having one truly enjoyable bike encourages regular use, and this is precisely that bike. How sweet is that?

The Tall Tale is constructed using the finest available materials, ensuring a superior ride quality and durability. It boasts details like our in-house designed chainstay yoke for an optimal chainstay length, asymmetrical chainstays for a finely-tuned ride quality, and our distinctive ovalized top tube. Custom oval-butted tubing makes these joyfully compliant frames strong enough to take years of abuse. A fun steel bike you will want to keep riding season after season.
