Sour News #008: 2025 Bring it on!

Riding bikes in january is a special thing. True, a long ride in the sun with friends is summer-specialty, but the crisp mornings, grey canopy, and frozen dirt really cement the winter riding season as the bestest, if not the second best riding season. Here in Dresden, the mornings are getting crispy for sure, and the Heide is looking stunning! No time like the present to get out there and enjoy it!

While we do our best to keep up with Clueless, Purple Haze, Pasta Party, and Crumble orders, we are also really starting to cook along with the Double Choc and Cowboy Cookie frames! We’ve had some amazing builds and paint jobs roll and walk out of Sour HQ recently. We’ve updated the Flickr with a couple frames and completes. Enjoy!

In September 2024 we hosted a screening of Josh Weinberg’s documentary about Wende Cragg and her influence in the early days of mountain biking.
To give that movie about that initial spark a bit of a local context we asked Gerolf from Germany’s Antritt Podcast if he would be interested in having a talk with one of our local legends about his early days.
For people not coming from germany this will be a hard one BUT it’s worth it if you understand it :)
