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.
