Blue Steel Frame

Why are you even looking at the Kepler? If you want to build a SS/FG why not just get a Swift, Classic Track or 725 Track?

thx for posting JT, but wanna have a steel-is-real frame that enables both front and back brakes to be fitted.. as it's mainly for the midweek / overnight rides,

(the Leader 725 e.g. is a little too Young-Punk / Fixed&Famous for me tbh!)

currently looking at some (more distinctive examples) on eBay, seems it's easier than i suspected to find the right frame size after-all (!),

will probably keep it blue-painted-steel for the time being though, and just change the gear-ratio..

:-)

He means brother 725, not leader 725, proper "steelisreelz"

^ indeed.

And btw you can fit front and rear brakes to both Swift and Classic. I have no idea why you would choose a Kepler over the others..

do like the Brother offerings,

but simply - prefer coloured frames, hence eyes diverted away from the black;

anyways (despite briefly flirting with the idea of buying another frame!), gonna stick with the blue steel for now; it's a nicer looking frame than comes across from the OP perhaps, will post up better pics (!), :-)

just need to change the gear-ratio.. likely to return to the more spiny 42 x 16..
