It's been a while since I've written a blog and to be honest part of it's due to being busy running our bike shop and working on the back-end of the site. Not a great excuse I know, but for me a blog is easy to push back. I wasn't the best reader/writer in school and working with my hands came with much more ease than literature.
But what a way to restart some bloggage with non-other than one of our favourite frames! The Brother Cycles Kepler.
We've known Will and James for some time, almost from the beginning of their adventure. When they started out in London selling refurbished single speeds and track frames.
But the reason for this blog is to say thank you to Brother Cycles. Thank you for the awesome frames, thank you for all the rides and events you organise, but above all thank you for being a hub. A central point where likeminded people can meet, chill, ride and have a few beers around a campfire.
Thank you for making a community.
This frame has been a must for us since Will and James dropped it back in 2015. I own and ride the black PM disc version every day and never tire of the nimble yet supple ride feel and pure hardwearing quality of the frame.
The new and updated version is awesome! Brother Cycles have jumped the Kepler to a new level.
It's just such a versatile frame-set that can adapt to anything you chuck at it. Touring, Audax, Gravel and Off-Road Randonneuring riding are where this frame is at home but daily commuting with a flat bar set up would be perfect or a rough and ready winter training machine.....
It's a reliable, adaptable, well thought out piece of kit and we highly recommend them.
Caps off to Keplers!
