Fara F | disc

It's been a minute since building a hot-blooded road bike, so it's only fair that it looks like this after waiting so long. I am very truly so pleased and in awe of this bike.

Where do you begin with a build like this? I mean even the bottle cages are worthy of their own post! Oh, those are @alpitude_components by the way, spare me the DMs (jk, y'all are great).

And obviously, while I've got you here, I'd like to direct your attention to the full. Beast. cockpit. Everything Beast, everything made in Dresden, by hand, one step at a time. Let me go ahead and answer everyone's question, "yes, it really is THAT good".

Oh dang! I didn't even mention this frame! It's beautiful. Think about it, Fara has to take tradition, religion, and modern technology, and find a balance between them to make a functional frame that has the lines of a exotic sports car without making it look like a spaceship. I couldn't even type out that sentence without getting sweaty palms!

Okay. I'm tired. I'm all wound up about this bike, it was a long week, and making photos like this is a challenge for me. Y'all, have a great weekend, do rad stuff, and stay warm, it's cold af out there. Enjoy the gallery:

Sour Purple Haze

This Sour is a shop build. Parallel is a dealer of Sour bikes, and if you’re wondering, “What’s ‘Sour’”? then well, that’s exactly why this build exists. Shop builds are often used to exemplify types or brands of bikes, and this German Dirt-Rocket is no exception.

This is a custom powder-coated, Taiwanese made steel frame ready for adventures big and small. Keeping it simple and to the point, this bike is built with a SRAM Rival Hydro group, Hope hubs, DT Swiss XC rims, and a couple Made in the USA bits for the cockpit.

This frame has a custom chameleon powder coat that shines purple in the sunlight, and has a metallic fleck. This, and many other colours are available.
