Bike Check: Sour Bikes ‘Pasta Party’

Nice Bikes, but socks and sandles? 🙂

That headtube is a work of art. I’d probably buy one just for that if I had the money spare.

At last, a bike that looks like a ‘proper’ mtb, and not the usual modern monstrosity. Would buy on pleasing looks alone.

It’s all serial production.

What does this mean? I’ve not come across the term before. Sorry if I’m being dense.

Looks lovely. And not insanely expensive for a frame produced in Germany, though I guess post-Brexit that’s the just the start of the cost story.

That just looks right. Very nice

Edit: nice. Fun name too.

I’ve had a Purple Haze, their gravel bike for over five years now and love it. It’s well made, Sour are lovely to deal with and it’s great to ride.

I personally hate the headtube but if I ever have this sort of cash spare for a winter training frame, this is what I’d get.

I’ve lusted after a bright yellow pasta party since they came out a few years ago

@BadlyWiredDog serial production = make one frame at a time, beginning to end. Then do the next one. As opposed to doing things in parallel, or on a production line.

For any south coast folks, Porteur in Hove have a few Sour frames in to fondle/drool over…they’re *very* nice
