Brother Cycles

13 years ago the engineers at Brother came up with a plan to produce a single product, a simple steel track frame which at the time had no name or branding. They never planned to build an actual bicycle company. They just wanted to create a product that was not readily available at the time, something they wanted to own and ride themselves.

13 years later and their mission has not really changed. Brother still only make products that they’re personally interested in, however this now includes a whole range of bikes that span multiple cycling disciplines. This all comes under the brand name of Brother Cycles.

Brother HQ is based in the Kent countryside. A studio, workshop and warehouse where they run their entire operation in house – shipping products worldwide. Each frame has a unique design and are exclusive to Brother Cycles. They are handmade in Taiwan from the best materials,by frame builders with over 30 years experience, ensuring a high quality product designed to be ridden all day, every day, whether in the city or out in the wild.

Each bike is designed, tested and riden by the owners. This process, from initial concept to finished product, ensures that they are 100% happy with every detail. The aim is not to release dozens of new bikes every year, but rather a select range of well designed, good looking products that are constantly evolving year on year.
