Sklar Bikes launches Super Something V2 gravel bike
Custom framebuilder Adam Sklar of San Francisco, CA-based Sklar Bikes released his brand's first made-in-Taiwan framesets back in 2022. The first offering, which consisted of a steel frame and fork in stock sizes, was the Super Something gravel bike, incorporating sizing and geometry data from the builders' previous ten years of fabricating custom bikes.
For 2026, Sklar has announced an updated version of the Super Something that, according to the brand, "exists about 60% of the way along the gravel bike spectrum – from tarmac to mountain bike – offering a confident balance of speed, agility and confidence-inspiring capability.”
The Super Something V2 will include a frame and fork made from "lightweight double-butted, heat-treated chromoly steel," with the option to add a paint-matched carbon fork. The frame features UDH dropouts and custom chainstay yoke that support all 1× drivetrains, clearance for tires up to 700×52mm, full rack/fender compatibility via multiple mounting bosses, and flat mount brake calipers.
Framesets come in two colors for US$1,600, and full builds are available starting at US$3,719. International shipping is available for an average cost of US$250.
