Plus front rack / no longer doing wheelies everywhere..

Pfft. And who placed them like that eh?!

Waiting on a Tubus Tara low rider. Had to use a spare for now and had no front rack.. So yeah, wheelied up hills..

Finished the build on Friday night and took it for a weekend spin to East Sussex/Kent. Laaaavly!

Haven't received and haven't heard anything from @ChrisMGS. I'd like my money back please, as I now need to buy elsewhere.

Potential dibs on #2 Kenda Kwik 32c Cx tyres,like new.price £22

Where are you based?

Hi, have you posted yet..? Still haven't received. Thx

And starting to regret all the silver...

Thomson seat post, panaracer tyres, VO cantis and tiagra group set added. Waiting on a few other bits bought from here and online. Will hopefully be ready for next weekend!

Potentially interested in the Thomson stem and Deda bars.

Balham is a bit of a mission, do you work central?

Dibs on the seatpost

.

Dibs on the stem! PMing now.

PMd

Dibs on the bars if sale falls through!

I agree with @Heldring. I'd say go for a 52 and compensate with stem etc. There was someone on here selling a Kepler a few weeks ago - I think he was 5'6 and was riding a 52.. I believe the new frame is coming out v soon, so will probably be around to test for size soon enough!

Wheels arrived today, slowly getting there!

Recommendations for gum wall tyres?

I'm so eager to get it built, might just have to bite the bullet and buy the rest rather than waiting to sell old bits etc.... I think a weekend on the South Downs Way will be my first test run!

@Fahrgestell ah, missed that! But to be fair, I got a bank holiday discount on the Brother site on the navy frame, so I'm happy with that. And as @grantm86 said, too impatient too wait for the Galactic one - looks so sweet though.

@grantm86 Nice. Did you go for the navy frame? I was so keen on the pink and blue fade, but it was all sold out...

Still need a lot really.. Stem, seatpost, headset (got a crappy one I might use for now), bars, tape, tyres, pedals and racks!

Got VO cantis yesterday, and I decided on A319s in the end so wheels should be arriving mid-week. Now on the hunt for the rest of it.. Any spare bits poking around that would work for this?

@grantm86 how's your build going?

I'm also looking.. How much, @Godlykepower ?

Is this still around? Dibs if so!

It's a 54. Sizing here: https://www.brothercycles.com/assets/Keplergeo1.gif

I'm building up a Brother Kepler as a multi purpose, but predominantly light touring bike. I need some help and advice on parts as I've only worked on single speed so far.

The plan is to bring in some CX elements - rough inspiration from here: http://www.headsetpress.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/rowan-frameworks_headsetpress-bespoked-bristol-2015-39511.jpg

I don't have a huge budget and I'm planning to buy some parts new and then get hold of the rest secondhand when can. I've ordered a Tiagra drivetrain as a base as it's durable and cheap.

My wishlist is as follows:

• Chris King black headset
  
• Velo Orange cantis
  
• Thomson stem and post
  
• Tubus front rack
  
• Time pedals
  
  

The things I'm not sure about are:
Wheels - I want something that can take a knock and carry weight but not so heavy duty that it makes the bike sluggish. Was thinking about Mavic A319s but that might be overkill
Cockpit - not sure about bars and tape
Tyres - not sure about whether to fit gumwall of CX tyres

Suggestions welcome. If you have any secondhand parts that could work for the build let me know.
