The 2025 Mr Wooden: a 650b steel randonneur with rim brakes, in last season's Green Metallic and Lilac Metallic.
Mr Wooden is Brother's all-purpose steel frameset: a modern randonneur, a tourer and a gravel bike that is happy off-road. It runs 650b quick release wheels with up to 50mm tyres, rim brakes and a low-mid trail fork that handles well with a front bag.
This is the previous version, before the 2026 refresh in metallic brown. Same idea, same tubing and same parts-friendly standards, in the remaining sizes and colours.
Why we chose this for our customers:
- A home for good old parts: rim brakes, quick release, threaded BB and a 1 1/8 inch headset, so classic components still fit
- Comfortable and lively: rim brakes let Brother keep the frame light and flexible for long days
- Randonneur front end: low-mid trail fork that handles well with a front bag, porteur rack or low riders
- 650b x 50mm tyres: big, supple tyres for lanes, towpaths and light gravel
- Fully equipped: three bottle mounts, racks, mudguards and down tube bosses on every size

Brother design their frames in London and we build them up on the bench in Bow, a few miles across East London. Bring us a parts list, a pile of components you already own, or just an idea, and we will spec, build and fit it for you.
