Hello, this is Yoshimoto from Circles Tokyo.
It’s February. The outside air is still cold, but I can feel a definite warmth building up—both in our pits and in the expressions of everyone visiting our shop.
"Where should I go when it gets warmer?" "I want to upgrade my way of getting around to match the start of my new life."
In fact, consultations about bicycles have surged since the start of this month. Every day, I feel that diverse energy—the positive desire in each of you to "change" in anticipation of the coming spring.
However, there’s a lot about a new life that you don't know until it actually begins. That is exactly why I want to confidently propose an option to you now: SKLAR BIKES.
The Versatility of SKLAR BIKES
Why SKLAR BIKES at this particular time? It is because the bikes Adam Sklar builds have a deep capacity to adapt to your changing daily life.
What models like the Super Something and PBJ have in common is the strength of "unrestricted use." From paved roads on your commute to escaping onto unpaved paths on your days off. From fully loaded camp touring to nimble city riding.
The frames he designs combine the "flex" characteristic of materials like chromoly and titanium with the geometric adaptability of rocker dropouts. In other words, even as your life changes, this bike can continue to accompany you through those shifts.
"I don’t think owning a massive amount of bikes is cool. It’s cool to own a few really good ones and use them for a long time."
These are the words of Adam Sklar himself, and one of the things he values most when frame building. A bike that doesn't just get consumed, but changes with you. There is no better partner for starting a new cycling life.
Buying "Time" with a Custom Bike
As you know, the bikes we propose are not instant fast food. We choose a frame, listen to how you ride, find the optimal solution from countless parts, and tighten every single bolt. Physical time is absolutely required for this process.
To be able to set off the moment you feel like "riding," you have to start moving one step earlier.
Deciding to commit to a custom bike now is the most logical preparation to ensure you can hit the ground running at the start of the coming high season in the best possible condition.
Campaign Details
To make this preparation period even richer, we have prepared something special. For those who place an order for a SKLAR BIKE at Circles Tokyo between now and Sunday, March 22nd, we will present you with a silkscreen poster by Nicholas—Adam's longtime friend and the artist behind their graphics—of your choice.
Earth Gazer & Human Mushroom
If Adam uses a welding torch to build the structure for the ride, Nicholas uses ink and a squeegee to visualize the free-spirited atmosphere unique to SKLAR BIKES.
During the weeks it takes for your bike to be built, try taking this poster home and hanging it on your wall. The time spent gazing at the artwork will turn from mere waiting into a rich period of fueling your imagination, asking yourself, "Where should I go with my new partner?"
When these two things come together, the clarity of what a Sklar Bike means for your life will surely sharpen in an instant.
The eligible models include the entire SKLAR lineup.
- Super Something / V2
- PBJ
- Titanium Super Something
Ordering a bike is an investment in your future self. How will your life change when the wind turns warm? Let's build the best bike possible while envisioning that scenery together.
Whether you need advice on specific assemblies or want to know if you can transfer parts from your current bike, we will propose the optimal solution. We look forward to seeing you at Circles Tokyo.
