BAD GRANNY

The Bad Granny. A picture is worth a thousands words, right? This frame is living proof that a little extra rubber, laid back geometry, and quality steel is really all you need in life… most of the time.

The Bad Granny has been around since day one here at Sour. We wanted a fun side-project, and an hommage 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 may be 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!

All Sour frame are now made in Germany, by us, right here in Saxony. Production pre-orders happen quarterly, but frames can be ordered at any moment of the year. With the exception of special orders, sizes, and frames, all orders are expected to have a 6-10 week delivery time.
