We’re bringing back the Bad Granny! We love the Bad Granny so every once in a while we open the order books, collect all orders from all you guys that know how a trusty Klunker should look like and then build those frames in one batch togtether.
The Bad Granny is back baby!
After a years long hiatus, the Bad Granny has just slammed the double swinging doors open and proclaimed “this town ain’t big enough for the both of us”!
The Bad Granny has been around since day one here at Sour. We wanted a fun side-project, and an homage bike seemed like a perfect fit. Singlespeed it, run gears, race it, ride it, commute it, it’s up to you! This frame can handle it all, as long as “all” ends with a cool beverage and good company.
The Bad Granny looks the same as the OG mountain bikes, but it is anything but ancient. Boost spacing, internal dropper routing, and all the other modern day standards are present and accounted for on this frame… no worries about running fancy robo-shifting if that’s your thing!
All of this, built by hand in Saxony!
Don’t Call it Old Fashioned
Sure, the Bad Granny might look like a barn find from 1970’s in Marin County, and although we stuck to more “retro” geometry and looks, the Bad Granny is at home on everything from café rides to modern trails. Granted, a bike like this is really best ridden with a rigid fork, it is also ready to run a 120mm suspension fork if that’s your thing.
Café Ready Technology™
A lot of our bikes are designed with big adventures in mind. Big rides, big climbs, or even big goals of riding your bike to work everyday for a month! The Bad Granny is no different.
However, instead of trans-continental journeys, we were more thinking of trans-local-trails-and-then-hit-the-café kind of adventures. Wake up early suit up in your most appropriate Vans and baggies, and head out into the wild world… who knows what could happen in the hour or two between the trailhead and the local beverage-terrace, better bring provisions!
Jokes aside, we’ve seen tons of Bad Granny frames built up into the coolest commuter in town, but we’ve also seen lot’s of them built up into what can only be described as an ATB. I know, I know, it’s wild, but the geometry can really truthfully only be described as: will shred.
