When Ondrej talks, you listen. Ondrej is a good fr When Ondrej talks, you listen. Ondrej is a good friend of ours, organiser of @bbb_race and @bbb_camp, one of our favourite events. So when he dropped by to ask if we could adjust our Purple Haze for a little bit of suspension, we obliged, and thus the Lemon Kush was born. 

Ondrej is a SRAM ambassador as well as a connoisseur of fine gravel, living in Bohemia and all. A little bit of suspension is just what the doctor ordered, as far as he's concerned. But everyone will have their own idea of course! ♥️

This Lemon Kush is dripping with SRAM gear, Zipp wheels and cockpit, and good garsh it looks good in its patented Lemon Kush colour with matching Rudy lowers. 

We have been experimenting with a few adjusted versions of a models in our line up, in the little extra time we have between production, and that may or may not be laying the groundwork for a future project at Sour. Stay tuned.

We did it! Fight evening of @kolektif.bike.fair in We did it! Fight evening of @kolektif.bike.fair in Berlin! We've already had the chance to catch up with so many of you in such a short evening, and there's two evenings to go! I heard there's some sort of bike racing happening tomorrow where the bike literally cannot stop, more beverages of the German persuasion, and I even heard rumor of a bike ride!

Kolektif, you're doing great, more if this tomorrow. Over and out. ✌️

Come to Kolektif Berlin! Chat about bikes with fel Come to Kolektif Berlin! Chat about bikes with fellow bike nerds!⁠
⁠
We will be at the Kolektif bike show in Berlin this coming weekend and we would love to chat with every single one of you! I'm not sure about the logistics of chatting with 13k+ people, but as you can see from the first photo, Chris has already started planning out the first steps! Great!⁠
⁠
Rumour has it that we will have a few small surprises at the show, but you *have* to know the password to get to see them. DM for the password!⁠
⁠
These photos are from Cyclingworld Dusseldorf by the way, another great show we had last week, and the photos were all taken by the keen eye of @hagbardcel! Thanks Robert!⁠

How's about that moody matte purple Purple Haze ha How's about that moody matte purple Purple Haze haze?⁠
⁠
The Purple Haze is one of the original Sour frame spun out of the side project that birthed Sour as a brand. We loved it then, we love it now, and we'll love it in the future... unless it betrays the family by selling our secret 17 herbs and spices recipe to the press, then we will no longer love it...⁠
⁠
What should this colour be called? I'm thinking Inverted Crystal Kryptonite. Inverted because Google told me that purple is the opposite of green. Science!⁠

Is there an award for the most stable flat mount p Is there an award for the most stable flat mount platform? Asking for a friend...⁠
⁠
Okay, okay, maybe we didn't do the research. Maybe "most stable FM" was something we just thought up, just now. But regardless, we're pretty happy with our flat mount design, and now we're going to tell you all about it!⁠
⁠
We use FM160 on all our flat mount equipped frames, the Purple Haze seen here, but also the Clueless and Pasta Party. FM160 simply means that you can mount your flat mount caliper directly to the frame and it's all ready to use a 160mm disc rotor. If your caliper comes with a little adapter already attached to it, just remove that and mount the caliper directly to the frame. Done! Easy peasy lemon flat mount.⁠
⁠
Both the Purple Haze and Clueless have a maximum disc rotor size, which means that the front and rear of those frames are 160mm only. 140mm won't fit, and 180mm is too big. We thought long and hard about this and decided it was a move we wanted to make to add the stability of this design to our frames.⁠
⁠
The Pasta Party can run 180mm rotors on the rear. If you're keen on a 180mm rear rotor on your Pasta Party, just add a standard 20mm flat mount adapter to the mix, such as the Magura QM51 adapter. ⁠
⁠
There we go! That's obviously the short version of the story, for the long version check out our blogpost on ALL the brake fittings of all Sour frames at sour.bike!⁠

The Purple Haze from front to back, in a beautiful The Purple Haze from front to back, in a beautiful matte dark purple-ish powdercoat! What's the name of this powdercoat? Wrong answers only!⁠
⁠
You know the Purple Haze. I'm sure of it. There's a chance you're following us because of the Purple Haze. It's been our most popular model since its inception, and it's easy to see why.⁠
⁠
Through the years the Purple Haze has received little improvements here and there, but more has stayed the same than changed.⁠
⁠
We upped the flat mount to FM160, so no adapter is needed. We upped the tire clearance to 55mm (officially), so no worries about running out of rubber. But other than that the Purple Haze of yesterday and the Purple Haze of today are pretty much the same beasts.⁠
⁠
We've had thoughts of elongating the bike, changing this angle, that angle... but in the end we love this bike for it's foot-in-both-camps approach to gravel. A little MTB DNA, a little racer DNA, it's a fast bike that's keen to take on any challenge. And why change a winning team? That's what the Red Sox did and look what happened to them!⁠

The Big Fun in all its glory!⁠ ⁠ We love the B The Big Fun in all its glory!⁠
⁠
We love the Big Fun, it's one of the first models to be developed, designed, and built entirely by Sour, here in Dresden as part of our top-secret "Homebrew" project. We moved all our production to Dresden, starting with the MTB frames, and the Big Fun was the first model to be born out of Homebrew.⁠
⁠
Designed in Dresden. Built in Dresden. Painted in Dresden. I think now we just have to find some morels in Dresden!⁠
⁠
We designed this frame to be the big sibling to the Crumble, while maintaining its do-it-all family nature. Although the Big Fun is less trail and more "shred", if your riding is rougher than usual, this frame is ready to party!⁠

⁠
This fungus-green Big Fun(gus) is really scratching the itch right now, and these photos highlighting the prep work done at Sour HQ... Chefs kiss⁠ 🤌
⁠
All Sour frames come prepped and ready to be built. A lot of you build up our frames at home and may not have the expensive tools to chase and face bottom brackets and brake mounting surfaces, but no worries, we've got your back!⁠
⁠
We add @dynamicbikecare Assembly Paste Pro to all relevant threads and include a little sachet of Galli Grease for your seatpost and other bits to make sure all goes smoothly. That regular re-greasing though, that's on you!⁠
⁠
We try our best to make Sour frames approachable and easy to choose and use. By doing some, or most of the prep work here in Dresden, we hope to help ease any building pains for our customers and dealers.⁠
⁠
Speaking of dealers. If you're worried about getting the build just perfect, then get in touch with one of our dealers. We have a whole list of them on the website... they have all the tools and all the know-how to get you set up perfectly the first time!⁠

Swipe for the fungus among us! We love this Big Fu Swipe for the fungus among us! We love this Big Fun(gus) with custom graphics and with a complete protection tape treatment you know it'll keep looking snazzy for years and years to come!⁠
⁠
Fun fact, the morel mushroom was first typified in Germany, not unlike this Big Fun (lol sick sponsor segway). Many hikers and mushroom hunters will venture into the woods to search high and low for these delicious little fungus sacs... granted, searing high is probably a little harder.⁠
⁠
Not unlike the mushroom hunters, every spring the great Big Fun(gus) ventures into the woods in search of stoke. Searching mostly high, but also sometimes low, for rad lines and long chicanes... "High" as in jumps, get your minds out of the gutter!⁠
⁠
That's it really. We could wax on about the geometry of the Big Fun and its usability and stability, but really we just wanted to show off this super rad custom powdercoat. Got something wild in mind? Don't be afraid to get in touch!⁠
