Tall Tale Complete Build Kits
Save yourself time and tumultuous internal debate with our ready-to-go complete build kits. We live and breathe bikes and have hand selected these kits to be the best bang for your buck when it comes to a fun mountain hardtail. These are all built up the way we would build our own bikes. Parts that are meant to last, splurging where it really makes a difference and going with the budget-friendlier stuff when those things will work just fine.
We love building up our framesets as complete bikes for you. Each complete is thoughtfully assembled by your pal Jordan who spent over a decade working in the country's highest-end bike shops before joining Sklar. These are build kits that we know will ride awesome on a TallTale but we're happy to swap out bars or tires and small things to make the bike truly yours, just send us a note to chat more about customizing your build.
Below are the details on the build kits we are currently offering. Please allow 2-3 weeks for a complete build depending on parts availability. Sometimes certain parts are out of stock and we will contact you if we need to make a substitution.
Please send us a note if you have any questions
