BROTHER CYCLES "PINECORNE"
BROTHER CYCLES "PINECONE"
Brother Cycles' new ATB "PINECONE"
This frame was influenced by MTBs from the 80s and 90s, and unlike modern MTBs which have become specialized and tailored to different uses, this is a bike that you can ride safely and enjoyably even when you suddenly leave the city and head off-road into a park, or when exploring unfamiliar places and riding on bumpy roads.
Although the PINECONE looks similar to the MTB/ATBs of the past, its performance is state-of-the-art.
The stable frame design and chromoly steel pipes that are thinner or thicker in key areas improve ride comfort and durability.
The PINECONE frame specifications are slightly older than those of current bicycles, but many of the standard parts that were mainstream up until about 20 years ago are still in existence today.
A wide range of parts options are available.
(Of course, some current parts can be used.)
It's good to assemble it as a simple single speed,
By using parts that attach a gear shifter, it can also support multi-speed shifting.
It is recommended for both long-time bicycle enthusiasts and ATB beginners who want to start cycling for the first time.
PINECONE is a frame that allows you to discover many different ways to enjoy cycling.
