Last 2010 delivery of 028
2010-08-13 10:11 So we built the final 028 bicyles this week. It was a bit sad but after a hectic spring this is the last five bikes to be sent out from our Hammarby bikeplant. 3x56cm and 2x54cm to Crab Cycles at Zürichstrasse 46 in Lucern. Daniel also ordered some of the 010 bag in black and blue and was also promised to be our exclusive Sson sergeant in the Swiss region. His shop looks great and the selection in super. We have some framesets left in 54cm though if you like to kit the bike up without our help. See you in 2011...
Clip by yet another Erik
2010-05-21 10:54 This time it's our friend Erik Hedin who decided to contribute to our project with a short movieclip. He claims to be an amateaur with this moving images thing but we think not. Looking forward to Erik going pro sometime soon...
Asia is fine
2010-03-19 19:19 I have left Sweden for a trip east. After some slight delays (a day in Bejing is also a day) I joined Nils in Kichijoji, Tokyo and sat down for a beer with his friends. The last few days after this we spent singing, walking, eating and enjoying the spring. This a report from the field and since it contains many picures of bikes, houses, art and people I found it best to throw them up on the great old Flickr. Welcome!

They are here!
2010-03-12 18:48 Finally we have the pleasure to introduce our first bag. There is not much process to show here, unfortunately, but the short story goes something like this: Anton at Sandqvist did most of the work and he ended up with a greatlooking bag in heavy canvas and some really thick leather. There was supposed to be a Ssonpatch at the front but the people in the factory had other plans. Who cares, it's a nice bag and we believe you will enjoy it. Buy it here or here or at your closest Sandqvistdealer.
New year, new ride
2010-01-21 02:00 We are making room for the arrival of our first collection of coloured bikes. The colour is red. Red like the Japanease sun. It's the classic 003 that will get a splash of paint and we will start sending them out first week of February. Order it here

Yes we have new stickers
2009-07-02 21:32 Or rather, we will have. Soon... After this summer when are done swimming, sleeping late, cooking food over open fire or just doing what we seldon do the other 48weeks of the year -nothing! But here is a peek from the creators of the official Vol.3 stickerkit. Parra is doing what he does best, Gunilla Hagstrom/VOL is already dreaming of winter and the north pole. Random Bastards are just very random. Bastards! But very good at it.
Sson x Jim Rickey
2009-07-01 12:57 I met Patrik in the Jim Rickey booth last year at the Vision show in Copenhagen. We split 3 bottles of Cava that he had come about the evening before under suspisious circumstances (according to Hannes). I love Cava and we decided that a Sson vs. Jim Rickey biycles was a great idea. We dicided to base it around the 016 platform but thats was about as much we got done that day. It was a great day and the result is pretty ok. Think of it as the biggest possible BMX that you have seen and one that will get you to the afterparty in no time at all. After the afterparty it's the after afterparty somewhere, hosted by Jim Rickey.
Saigon by night
2009-03-17 03:28 Since I spent my days looking at bicycles I didn't get the chance to take any of the scenic tours around town. There is a lot to see in Saigon, alot of warrelated stuff but also temples and trips into the Mekongdelta. I took my own tours at night and there was still alot to see just by walking around. Since this is not meant to be a travelsite I will keep it short but I do recommend Vietnam and Saigon to pretty much everyone.
In the loop
2009-03-12 10:53 Today I we got the pictures and confirmation of the new 003 bicycles that are soon being built in Cambodia. Like we showed you in a previous post we are going crazy and adding a real colour to our line of 003's. Its red, isn't it? We will make it in white (1speed) and black (3speed) as well. Delivery of black and white bicycles are in the end of April but need to wait til June for the reds.
CalixSsonx3
2008-12-19 18:01 Suddenly our friends at Cali turned five and celebration was all around us. They wanted to do something special and we had talked about doin a colabbo for a long long time. This was the perfect time and since there are few bicycles that are equipped for the Stockholm January weather we decided make one. The ultimate urban winter machine. Superknobby tires, protective fenders, Knog lights, extratraction pedals and some matching grips in Calibrown. The numberplate is for windprotection only.
Edition of three, SOLD OUT.
The news beginning
2008-12-14 22:33 Its is with great pleasure and tremendous joy we write this very first post on the very much new Sson homepage on the ever growing world wide web. The first Sson page you could say. We did have a couple of blogs, mostly in swedish and we did have a proper second version of the site too, but this one must still count as the first since this time we are serious. Really serious. Seriously putting ourselves out there to seriously become a popular supplier of cleenlooking bicycles, stylish and maybe a bit fuctional clothing and then some. We aim to seduce but we also aim to bring useful and hopefully interesting content to the game. We want to get more people on bikes and we want them to look good. Sson wish the world to be the best version of itself and that goes for you too. Now move on...
The 2009 bicycles
2008-12-14 21:55 The 2009 version of the 003 will arrive in late April. It will be white but it will also be available in red. For the people with some extra bucks layin around the choice for black will present itself. The black bike comes with a threespeed Shimano Nexus rear hub and a twistergrip on the right side of the handlebar. New stickerkit are on the way for all bikes and you will not know which one you get until you open the box. As for the 2008 -all 003 bikes are sold out. Bare with us.
