Soma Wolverine Type-A – Thomas
A very special Soma Wolverine was finished beginning of the season for Thomas. Planned as very capable touring and commuter bike we used the SOMA Wolverine frame as basis. Shimano Alfine Di2 internal gears with Shimano GRX STIs combine the advantages of a internally geared hub with the sportive seating position and multiple hand positions with a drop bar while shifting effortless. The rear hub and the SON dynamo are laced to Praxis Works RC21 carbon rims Sapim spokes. Brakes are upgraded to the mighty Hope RX4+ disk calipers for maximum stopping power. Another highlight is the beautifully CNC machined INGRID crankset. Ergon Allroad Core saddle and SILCA Nastro bar tape for maximum comfort at the contact points and many more highlights to discover on this bike…

Brother Cycles Mehteh – Tyl
The Brother Cycles Mehteh is a fast and agile gravel bike designed for long days in the saddle on varied terrain. Tyls custom bike was built trying to make it as fast and light as possible, but still being robust and reliable. The wheels were made with Erase rear hub and SON dynamo front laced to carbon Newmen Advanced S.L. XR rims combined with well proven Tufo Thundero tyres. SRAM Rival XPLR 1x drivetrain combined with a Rotor Aldhu crankset and Hope RX4+ brake calipers for maximum stopping power (and the good looks). Headset, disc rotors and BB from our friends from Hope Tech as well. Giant Cadex GX carbon handlebar for perfect ergonomy. This Mehteh earns its name “Man Beast” for sure!

Curve GXR – Werner
Once again another superb Curve GXR titanium custom bike we made for Werner. For the wheels we used the silent Onyx Vesper rear hub and SON Dynamo in front laced to Beast GR25 carbon rims made in Germany. Tufo Thundero tires offer puncture protection while still being fast and offering a lot of grip. For stem and cockpit we choose ENVE carbon parts. Groupset is a SRAM AXS Rival / Eagle Mullet that offers a wide range in every situation. A White Industries headset is a nice addition to a high end bike like this. Supernova lights allow long rides in the dark! SILCA Nastro handlebar tape an Fizik Vento Argo saddle finish the bike nicely.

Genesis Croix De Fer 853 – Arne
For Arne we built this masterpiece : A beautiful Genesis Croix De Fer 853 (yes, with Reynolds 852 tubing) frameset was the basis for this versatile and fast gravel and long-touring bike. Wheels built with Chris King hub rear and SON dynamo front laced (with Sapim D-Light/Race mix) to rare and beautiful White Industries G25A rims (can we call them NOS already?). Chris King headset and Thomson stem / seatpost are a perfect match for a high end machine like this. An ergonomic Zipp SL-70 ERGO handelbar and Thomson bar tape finish up the cockpit nicely! Electronic SRAM AXS Rival / Eagle Mullet drivetrain keeps shifting smooth. SON Edelux headlamp and a well hidden B+M Mü taillight make sure you are visible in every condition.

Brother Cycles Mehteh – Julius
We wish everyone a happy new year and start the new year with a bike from last years archive. One of the last Brother Cycles Mehteh builds inold colourway was build with Brother steel gravel fork for use with Pelago Commuter front rack. Julius wanted a highly versatile rig with a focus on reliable parts. That why we choose Gevenalle 1×12 shifters combined with SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur for this one. Semi hydraulic Juin Tech brakes deliver stopage power in every situation. Wheels where build 27,5“ for more comfort and offroad capability: SON dynamo front and Erase MTB hub rear laced to Halo Vapour rims make it a light but unbeatable wheelset, while Teravail cannoball tyres deliver comfort and grip. Low drop and flared Ritchey Venture Max handlebar for control in every situation.

The setup includes two wheelsets. 1st: fast with carbon Duke World Runner 50 SLS2 rims and Teravail Rampart tyres, 2nd: offroad with Newmen Evolution SL A.30 rims with wide Maxxis Ikon tyres.
