The Pinecone

The Pinecone is the brand-new, all-steel, all-terrain bike from Brother Cycles. Drawing inspiration from the retro mountain bikes of the ’80s and ’90s, and blending them with modern features, it’s the ultimate do-it-all machine.

Sure, it makes a killer pub bike – but trust it on longer adventures and you’ll find a capable, all-terrain ride that’ll keep you smiling all day long.

Geometry & Ride Feel

  • Chainstays: 440mm – short and nimble for trail fun, yet stable for longer rides

  • Head angle: 70° – slack enough for varied terrain, steady enough for distance

  • Tubing: skinny, heat-treated chromo steel – “Extra Tough,” with the right flex for a forgiving feel on rough ground

Retro Vibes, Modern Versatility

  • Quick release dropouts, 1 1/8” headtube, and relatively level top tube for classic MTB character

  • Designed for 650b wheels with clearance up to 2.6" tyres (depending on brake setup)

  • Rim + Disc brake mounts – run v-brakes if you love them, or discs for strength and reliability

  • Compatible with multiple wheel sizes – 650b, 700c, even 26"

Details & Features

  • Horizontal rear dropouts allow for easy single-speed setup

  • Supplied with derailleur hanger insert if you’d rather run gears

  • Segmented steel fork with triple mounts on each blade for bottles, cargo, or Anything Cages

  • Built to accept both new and second-hand components – dust off that old XT groupset or retro v-brakes and mix them with modern kit

Inspiration
We designed the Pinecone to be versatile, practical, and fun.
