Today is the day! You've been asking for it, and here it is:

Homebrew pre-orders are open again!

Although we've been making frames in Germany for a short while now, the popular sizes of the most popular frames sold out right quick! Now we've ramped our production enough to again take orders for these previously sold out frames.

Hit the link in bio to go to our website, or get in touch with your local dealer. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.

Just one more sleep before we open up ordering for

Just one more sleep before we open up ordering for Homebrew frames again! Ordering has been sort of "closed" for our most popular frames in the most popular sizes, but now that we've recalibrated a bit and secured the raw materials to weld some frames... We're opening ordering up again!

3 February the fun starts!

We've been working like mad in the background to make this possible. Not only welding and doing all the physical work to make this a reality, but also working on our supply chain, setting up an *entire* production workshop near our headquarters, but also migrating our entire operating system and website to better communicate with our dealers and customers. Needless to say, there have been a few late nights!

Any questions about pre-order or our frames in general? Send us a message!

Homebrew orders open again 3 February!

Size medium and large sell out fast! So fast in fact that it's been months since anyone has been able to pre-order size medium or large frames from our more popular models. We get DMs pretty much daily from you all asking about when the order books will open again, and this week is that moment.

We appreciate the enthusiasm, y'all are great! Get your order in 3 February or get in touch with your local dealer today.

And to those of you still waiting on your current order to be painted and shipped: you're all saints, we see you, and your patience is greatly appreciated! ❤️

DM, email, smoke signal with any questions!

Bikes are all about negative space...⁠ ⁠ ...is

Bikes are all about negative space...⁠
⁠
...is something I would probably say if I knew anything about design.⁠
⁠
But real talk, there is some beauty going on here. We designed this fork to play nicely with our Purple Haze for those of you looking to use a Purple Haze for heavy lifting and long trips. The aluminium fork is much more resistant to over-torqued bolts and temporarily-overloaded racks. To be clear! Do not over-torque the bolts, and do not overload our fork... but accidents happen, we get it.⁠
⁠
This fork combined with the chameleon of a 44mm headtube and neat and tidy cable ports on the downtube, means the front end of this 60mm+ tire-hiding gravel monster is as refined as it is down-to-go-mudding. We adore it.⁠
⁠
All of our Purple Haze frames are made in our own facility in Germany, by hand, with the aid of a lot of coffee and Flori's steady-as-a-stein hands. If you would like a Purple Haze, now's the time!⁠
⁠
Homebrew frame ordering opens again 3 Feb 2023 for delivery in April 2023. That's not far away, on both counts. Get in touch with your local dealer, with us, and probably call your mother too, she misses you!⁠

In all reality, if we were the most marketing-savvy company, we would "dose" this photoset out to get the most mileage out of it. But, that just wouldn't cut it with this photoset... So here it is, in clear defiance of social media managers everywhere, a sunny, snowy set of this beauuuutiful Purple Haze.⁠
⁠
Starting from the top, this gravel bike features a set of Schwalbe mountain bike tires. Just read that back once more. Got it? Good. 700c MTB tires for all the adventures... or for you enduro kids out there: 29". That's a lot of tire for a lot of adventures, you best bring lot's of snacks, it's going to be a long day...⁠
⁠
And as we move along, past the limited edition rims made only for Sour that I'm not supposed to tell anyone about, you'll see a paint job fading from two unrelated colours, sick, in powdercoat for ultimate durability. No really, powdercoat is thick. Frame bags, bar bags, bento boxes, they'll all wear into the powdercoat a little, it's not magic after all, but it'll take a few years of wear to make it down to the bare steel. Bikepackers rejoice!⁠
⁠
What else have we got? Clickity-clack mechanical shifting for endless shifting abilities, with or without electricity. Although I'm not sure how electricity will help you shift this Force1/Ingrid groupset. Send pics if you figure it out! An Ingrid crankset and rear derailleur round out the focal point of this bike, even if they're hiding behind some bokeh-twigs. Ironic? Certainly.⁠
⁠
TLDR: This bike is beautiful, a gravel bike after my own heart. These photos? Fantastic, David you are a wizard of the light and lens. 13/10, would shred.⁠
⁠
Comment below to learn nothing about these limited edition rims that we have been working on since forever and will arrive this year!⁠

We weren't really sure what to call this, and we landed on pre-order, so I guess we'll just roll with that. What am I talking about? Important stuff. Read on!⁠
⁠
Homebrew frames are available for order again!⁠
⁠
Allow me to clarify: 3 Feb 2023 we will open the ordering scrolls again for the most popular sizes of the most popular models. If you have been wanting a size medium or large Purple Haze, Pasta Party, and sometimes Clueless, NOW is your chance to get on our books. Well, not now-now, 3 Feb-now.⁠
⁠
TLDR: Order your size Med or Lrg Purple Haze and Pasta Party frames 3 Feb! Check your local dealer as well!⁠
⁠
---⁠
⁠
What are the steps?⁠
⁠
The first step is to call your local dealer and ask them if they have already ordered the frame you are looking for! Do it! Right now! They probably miss you and would love to catch up. Dealers received their pre-order last week and have already taken the time to order a few frames for the coming months (thanks dealers, y'all rule!).⁠
⁠
The second step is only if your local dealer can't help you, or if you don't have a local dealer. In that case place your order for your new sweet-Sour frame on 3 Feb via our webshop www.sour.bike.⁠
⁠
A few details:⁠
- New website on its way, it'll be here soon.⁠
- All other sizes and models of Homebrew are available⁠
- Frames pre-ordered 3 Feb will be done around end-April 2023⁠
- All frames are produced in Germany moving forward⁠
- All remaining stock of Taiwan-made gravel bikes are at the old 2022 pricing, new 2023 Homebrew frames receive a small price increase. By interest in the 2022 frames (smaller and larger sizes only) send us an email or order via the site/your dealer.⁠
⁠
That was a lot of info! But don't worry, there's even more info on the blog on sour.bike, and we will update you a few more times very soon.⁠

A tidy rear end never goes out style. Even with frames of yesteryear, a tidy and purposeful dropout would make or break the entire design of the frame. That's why we designed our own.⁠
⁠
Dissatisfied with the options we had, and wanting to set us apart from others, we set out to design a dropout that was strong and simple, easy to weld to and produce, and of course just really really good looking. We like to believe that we ticked all the boxes... What do you think?⁠
⁠
Our derailleur hangers are equally simple and strong, as well as tucked in to keep them safe-r in a crash, and mega easy to replace if you do break one. After all, that *is* one of its tasks to protect your derailleur!⁠

Purple up top, out back, down low, out left... Purple everywhere.

This purple Ingrid crank is just cherry on this Purple Haze 💜 We love Ingrid at Sour and have been stocking them since forever, at least. A lot of our personal bikes have full Ingrid groupsets, and we are always keen on talking about their components for your next build.

Want us to mount a crankset with your next Sour frame? No worries, we can take care of that for you, often even from our own stock in house. Just drop us a line.

All that snow didn't skip Dresden, so you know we just had to get out there and take some photos!

This Purple Haze, in a true Purple Haze theme was a great choice with the white background! What a rad bike with the gradient fade of the powdercoat... It's a really difficult paint job to master, but it's always worth the effort if that's your style.

What do you think? Are you a fade paint fan, or more of a solid colour fan?
