Brother Cycles Big Bro – Andrew
Andrew decided to bring some colour into the whole custom bike project and painted his new Brother Cycles Big Bro himself before we build it up for him.
The idea behind this build was a all weather, all terrain touring and commuter MTB. We uild the bike with proven Shimano SLX 1×12 drivetrain, Newmen Forge wheelset with Maxxis Ikon tyres. BLB drifter bar for relaxed hand position with Ergon grips for superb ergonomics.
Full hauling capacity with Pelago Commuter front rack and Tubus rear rack. SKS fenders for keeping Andrew dry while riding in miserable weather.

Surly Midnight Special – Mario
With Mario we made a sportive approach to the well known Surly Midnight Special. The front was upgraded with a Brother Cycles Carbon Gravel fork and orange Hope Tech headset. To underline the sportive look we laced Erase hubs to more aero Duke Road Runner rims and combined the wheelset with fast Tufo Speedero tyres. Drivetrain is a full Shimano GRX 2×12 setup and finishing kit (seatpost, stem and handlebar) ZIPP Service Course with the most comfy SILCA Nastro bar tape. The result is a fast and sportive Endurance / All Road bike that shines on pot-holed, deteriorating pavement and the occasional long stretch of gravel!
