Brother cycles... Cheap as chips frames

Unlikely, it's pretty fresh out but would be interested in hearing also. It's got better geometry (for me) vs their other bikes.

We're due to build one up for someone but it'll be a couple of weeks I think.

I see Brother are shipping them currently

very fair review here

Thanks for the replies. I had no idea it was that new, I'd just come across it browsing for a new frame. I've been riding my Jobs Private Jake as a gravel bike, but the frame is a size too small and I'd like some more versatility. Even with the exchange rate to Canadian and some shipping costs it seems like a fair bargain for a 725 Reynolds frame with a carbon fork.

Anyone looking to sell a Kepler disc frameset in 54cm?

If anyone is after a 54 canti Kepler frame, the last time I was in Frankenbike in Hackney Wick (ex Skinny Eric's) they had a brand new one for £260, which is good.

If someone is selling I would like to buy Big Bro frameset size M. Color "clay" would be the nicest. Need shipping to finland thou.

Had my Brother stolen nicked. If you see any posted for sale please let me know. Has a pizza rack, time atac pedals and wizard works tool roll.

Has anyone put some WTB 650b 47mm offroad tyres on your Kepler? I've got the 2016 (ish) version of the frame. I'm looking at WTB Sendero or Venture.

I might go with the 42mm Resolute to be on the safe side.

I like this a lot...

Looks like a Fairlight, without the jumped up prices.

Just like the Meteh looks like Fairlight secan.

get a shallow depth of field lens and shoot your Trek, you will like it better

all things aside; this is a reynolds 725 frame and fairlight have custom 853 (and other) tubing from Reynolds

Way more R&D in Fairlight than catalogue frames IMO. Geometry, details everything really.

That brother is £849 and secan is £1199, the extra £350 is excellent ROI on Secan.

In other words; Brother makes Fairlight seem great value!

aye but fairlights paint and decals look so nankid , got to factor another £300 in.

tubing from Reynolds

Is Owen Jones working for Reynolds now?

Hence looks like

Fairlight is made and painted in Europe, with custom and higher quality tubing, designed by an actual designer ,with lots of custom machined hardware.

Brother are made by Maxway, no? Who do Ritchey, Salsa, Surly and the rest. If the tubing's decent (rule out the Surlys), then you'll get a decent frame.

Yes all of those are shit

And if you like shit, its fine, why overpay? For shallow depth of field?! Answer me @Zed

£849 for a Reynolds 725 (crmo) frame... Can we take 'cheap as chips' out of the thread title please?

Are you mental? I've got a Ritchey, and it's awesome.

Semi kidding of course

Ritchey are great except their dogshit long and low geometry

Jk(ish)

Mine's a mountain thingy, so it's all tall up front. Low is bad.
