Brother Kepler 56cm rolling chassis (hope 20five wheels, PDW mudguards)

Selling my Brother Kepler as a rolling chassis, you can see some photos of it fully built up here. Bike was just a bit too long for me unfortunately and I wasn't able to make it work. Since then I’ve taken off the group set and some other bits, but still have a bit to take apart depending on what the buyer might want.

The bike is up in N8 and I’d prefer to sell it all in one go (with wheels/f+f/gaurds) but fine splitting as long as there is interest in both f+f and wheels. Prices for individual bits below, but would take offers on the whole thing.

Whats for Sale

F+F plus bits: Brother Kepler 56cm in sick blue/green fadez - £350* sold
-The frame is in good shape, there is some damage to the paint in some places — particularly the head tube area (also some on the down tube) — that I have taped up for the meantime. Otherwise the frame is in good shape.
-Fork is the V1 Brother carbon gravel fork. Straight 1 'n 1/8 with 12mm through axle. Is in nice shape, has an alloy steerer that is plenty long.
-Black CK headset — this has some paint rub off from cables from previous owner, but otherwise fine.
-Shimano bb (forget which model, but it spins fine)
-Shimano BR-RS785 calipers that work well
-Thompson Seat-collar

Wheels £180
-Set of Hope 20five disc wheels with pro4 hubs. Front is 12mm thru-axle, rear is hope QR skewer.
-160/160 rotors (front is new, rear is bit older)
-Pirelli Cinturato velo 30mm tires (running with tubes), have a few hundred miles on them. Look spotless!
-The rear rim developed a crack while I was riding it and I had Martin from Arkane fix it up with a new, but unbranded 20five rim.
-Doesn’t have a cassette on, but I could throw on a semi beat up 11-32 for a fiver

Mudguards £sold
-PDW 700x45mm mudguards. Got these from here awhile ago, they have a few marks etc from use, but haven’t only been ridden for a few hundred miles. I’ll give these a good clean before going but otherwise in great condition.

Everything else that is still on the bike is: a thompson seat post (not sure how long), a band on 105 FD, a tall stack VO stem (which looks great on this), 40mm salsa cowbells, cambium c15 saddle, and some 105 hydro shifters. I’m willing to include most/all of these bits if someone is taking the f+f and would cut a deal on them but otherwise I’ll just keep them.

Do let me know if I'm off base number wise!

Interested! I’m in E8, so could come take a look. My current frame is 58cm so wondering if geometry/size will work but would like to see!

Edit: having just spoken with a friend riding a 58 Kepler (who is my height) I think it might be a stretch small. Best of luck!

Sure thing, drop me a pm.

For a 56 it is long, but not very tall. Plenty of stack on the steerer though (~80mm i think)

Damn, nice. Wish this had been around a few months ago when I was looking

Hi, not sure if you saw my edit but after chatting to a friend who has this exact frame and comparing heights it might be a little too small. My height is mainly in some long legs. Sorry, I was a bit quick on the trigger there. Good luck with sale!

I’m interested in the frame, how tall are you?

Have responded to your pm. I'm ~5' 11

Have had a bit of interest in frame and bits but it doesn't appear to fit people. Price drop to £350 for f+f

Would you be willing to part with the Salsa Cowbells?

potentially, going to see if there is any interest in frame and bits before fully parting it out. If the latter I'll keep you in mind

Thank you!

Interested in the pdws if you split!

Hi, if you'd be willing to part with just the stem and seatpost+seatpost collar I'd love them for my Stayer! Dreamy combination of parts.

Update: mudgaurds have been sold, price drop to £180 on the wheels, and have stripped some other bits off of it.

Going to keep saddle/ stem/ shifters/ saddle for now. But the seatpost can be had for £25. It’s a bit grubby with some anodizing coming off at the bottom, but well below the minimum insertion point.

Great bike with like totally sick fadez, bro. glws.

seat post please, DMd
