I first saw one of Adam Sklar s bikes at a cyclocross race in Sandpoint, Idaho, in 2014. A friend had just received his new bike from a Montana frame builder and was putting it through its paces for the first time, so a crew of us took turns pedaling it around. The blue-purple faded powder coat, elegantly curved steel tubes, and light weight made it more memorable than just about any cross bike I ve seen before or since. I m a sucker for a pretty bike, and that frame was beautiful. My parking lot test proved that it was more than just good looks, and I wanted to know more.
