Brother cycles... Cheap as chips frames

Starfish Bicycles are about to sell their rigid 26+ build they made for Bespoked in Dresden - import tax from Denmark might be prohibitive though

Not in the market but this could be a viable alternative to a Standert or Strael..

It's the same frame as the old one no? Just an updated fork and standert-esque paint job

brother feels increasingly like the cycling equivilent of going to a food truck that serves "dirty
[insert variable] fries", sure who's going to hate eating it, but the institution itself feels like a representation of every way our society fails creatively or spiritually

Burn. True tho. “mr wooden” is the epitome

Haha #rep, very true!

does this mean i have to sell my kepler? it's one of the older ones if that matters 😢

maybe i'll ride it one last time to the dirty fries food truck.

I'd wager a lick of paint, what is there to change?

Glancing at the price of a Pfadfinder before import or Strael, it's good someone is still making dirty fries*

*awaits price hike, the price of chips these days..

Love the new brother.

This comment annoys me because it’s too accurate.

Thread name change plz. Fuck me, the price of chips!

if only my budget allowed me to commute on a ritchey with deep crabonz.
if anyone fancies a swap then HMU

I dont remember wrapping those bars

oof

it was always that, so is every frame seller that goes to taiwan to spec or get a catalogue frame

crust
ritchey

nothing against Taiwan, its the pretence I hate of the riders of such bikes when they turn their noses up at a Trek

sorry my fault...i did not know it was for a commuter bike ... did not read everything.... so, a foffa should do
edit
Not in the market but this could be a viable alternative to a Standert or Strael.. ... when is a Standert or Strael a commuter bike?

what do you really wanna tell me? i also did not wrap them and?

Ha. Just can see the shifter clamp. Wouldn't be picky as most of my bikes have dodgy wraps, but mine aren't set dressed. Wouldn't mind a ritchey though.

I thought people hated trek because they’re cop bikes, and lance.

volvo, ford, skoda all provide cars to “cops”

i guess if trek doesn’t provide them they will be forced to ride richard sachs

ye!! i saw that... its true we cant unsee it ! HAHA :)
i always reuse old tape and even use electrical tape on top.... i need to up my game for sure!
