A steel all-terrain bike inspired by the mountain bikes of the 80s and 90s, with modern tyres and brakes.

The Pinecone looks like a retro MTB and rides like one in the best way: a 70 degree head angle, short 440mm chainstays and skinny heat treated chromoly tubes that flex just enough to keep rough ground fun. It makes a brilliant pub bike, and a surprisingly capable trail bike once you point it at the woods.

It is designed around 650b wheels with up to 2.6 inch tyres, and takes both rim brakes and disc brakes. Horizontal dropouts make single speed easy, and the included derailleur hanger insert lets you run gears. If you have an old XT groupset or a set of V-brakes waiting for a frame, this is it.

Why we chose this for our customers:

  • Do-it-all: pub bike, commuter, trail bike or light tourer
  • Rim or disc: mounts for both, so you can reuse V-brakes or fit hydraulic discs
  • Big tyres: 650b x 2.6 inch, or 29 x 2.2 inch with disc brakes
  • Single speed or geared: horizontal dropouts plus a derailleur hanger insert in the box
  • Carry more: triple mounts on the fork legs for cargo cages, plus rack and mudguard mounts

Ideal for: riders who want a fun, tough steel bike that can mix second-hand classics with new parts.

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. See the full Brother Cycles range, our other framesets, or book a build through our workshop.
