Sour News #017: 2026 will be BIG!

32" Pasta Party – bigger wheels, bigger ideas

Our 32" Pasta Party is finally out in the wild!

And yes, it’s exactly as fun, odd, and grin‑inducing as you’d expect.
We didn’t build it to prove a point. We built it because trying new things is part of who we are. Because bikes can be playful. And because someone had to put 32" wheels under a steel hardtail… so we did.

There’s also a fresh external review/video giving you a proper feel for how the 32" Pasta Party rides outside the workshop and far away from theory.
Honest impressions, real terrain, big wheels.

Give it a watch, share your thoughts, and if you ever get to ride one… you’ll understand why we’re so excited.

Leanne’s Space Cake – new video online

Team rider Leanne just dropped a brand‑new video about her updated Space Cake build — packed with personality, smart details, and the kind of stoke only she can deliver.
If you want to see what a Space Cake looks like in the hands of someone who actually knows how to make a bike sing… this one’s for you.

We’re also extremely excited about a new review from John Watson / The Radavist, who spent time riding (and photographing!) our yellow Cowboy Cookie.
His take is thoughtful, detailed, and full of the kind of perspective you only get from someone who lives bikes every day.

Wildcard Event – coming soon

We’re putting together our first Wildcard event — a day for hanging out, riding bikes, testing new stuff, meeting the crew, and maybe consuming unreasonable amounts of carbohydrates.

Full details soon. You’ll want to be part of it.
Date: 27-28 June 2026
