60cm Brother Kepler Flat Bar 1x8 Deore LX/Old XT

hello
bought this from @wallpress just under 7 years ago as a do-it-all everyday ride and (soon to be) dad bike - original ad/post here.

im now a dad of 2 and it's carried both kids on hamax seats and in trailers and basically been the most solidly reliable and dependable ride I've ever had. in fact writing this makes me want to keep it. it's picked up some scratches over the frame, but nothing at all crazy bad or any way structural. i've kept it pretty much as i bought it, save it now has a flite saddle (in eye-catching red), a Chris King headset and some gravelkings - spec is:

F+F - Brother Kepler Navy Blue 60cm
Chainset - FSA Gossamer w/ Raceface Narrow Wide 42t
BB - Shimano Ultegra Hollowtech 2
Levers - Deore LX
Shifter - XT 8 Speed
RR Mech - HG50 8 Speed. 11-30 cassette
Wheels - Shimano Deore hubs on Mavic A119 Rims
Brakes - TRV CX 9 V-Brakes
Tyres - Panaracer Gravelkings 35c
Seatpost - Mpart 2 bolt 27.2mm
Saddle - Selle Italia Flite
Bars and Stem - Bontrager
Headset - Chris King

i've kept it well maintained and replaced parts of the TRP brakes at some stage. it's all still working / riding like a boss.

it's now time to move her on to hopefully another lfgss member home. i've finally hit my allowable bike limit and there's no more arguments to be had. i'm based in bristol so ideally it's collection from here, i could potentially drop it to paddington on the london train but would really prefer collection if possible. pic below as it is now, have more pics if needed.

PRICE: £sold

cheers

Thanks for the tag @exteroceptive ! Lfgss is bloody great.
Sadly no longer looking as I’ve moved countries, good luck with sale jpb!

Ta rwd.

Price drop on this, any uk/bris interest?

Have someone interested from outside UK but would prefer collection if at all poss

I’d bite your hand off for this if it was a size smaller, glws

Best price on the forum

Would you post in UK?

What’s the toptube length? 58.5cm?

how much wear is left on the rims?

Insane bargain.

DM’d

Still available? Dibs if it is

I'm away for work today/ tomorrow but I'll confirm the measurements when back, it's the XL size.

Decent amount left in the rims, it's not been ridden hard at all.

Will reply to pms.

Glad it's getting a bit of the love I thought it deserved! Again making me want to keep it, but I've found a mehteh so moving over to that. All about the Brother

I'm also very interested!

wow! mega deal! great little (big) bike!! have another bump

Hello! I’m looking for a replacement for my surly cross check which cracked recently and this looks like a perfect swap.

It’s a touch on the large size but think I can make it work (I’m 6,2 with long legs).

I’ll give you 320 if we can do the Paddington drop?

Oh sorry, looks like someone might have dibs? Didn’t read that properly. If they pass up their dibs though I am interested.

Now sold, hope you enjoy it Andy! She'll be missed but sounds like moved on to a good home.

@GorillasChoice sorry you missed out, but fyi sounds like we've got pretty similar measurements so if you see another one this is probably the right size

Ah shame. Thanks for the info on sizing anyway!
