The Mehteh gives you the comfort, repairability and loaded-riding feel of a good steel gravel frame, while the carbon fork keeps the front end practical for modern adventure setups with mounts for cages, mudguards and dynamo routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SRAM Apex Eagle 1x12 drivetrain keeps the bike simple and gives it a wide 11-50T cassette for climbing loaded or unloaded. The 40T chainring keeps the top end useful without making the low gear too hard for steep gravel roads, bikepacking weight or long days when your legs are starting to ask questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDT Swiss GR1600 wheels are a strong match for this build. They keep the bike feeling sharp under power, but still make sense for rougher gravel, mixed surfaces and carrying gear. The GravelKing SK tyres roll quickly on sealed roads and hardpack, with enough tread to stay useful when the surface gets loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis build suits someone after one bike for gravel loops, rough backroads, weekend bikepacking and longer mixed-surface rides. It makes sense for New Zealand riding, where a route can move from seal to gravel to rougher farm roads without much warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also a strong option for riders planning bigger trips like Tour Aotearoa, Sounds to Sounds or local bikepacking missions, especially if they want a steel platform with modern standards, wide tyre clearance and sensible parts support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mehteh sits at the more capable end of the gravel category. With clearance for up to 700c x 50 mm or 650b x 2.2\" tyres, it gives you more room to tune the bike for speed, comfort, grip or loaded riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame has three bottle cage mounts, rear rack and mudguard mounts, full-length cable housing guides and a UDH-compatible rear dropout. That gives you a lot of setup flexibility, whether you want a clean gravel bike, a loaded bikepacking rig, or something that can be adjusted over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is a Bicycle Junction house build, so it is not a standard complete bike pulled from a catalogue. It has been built around parts we would actually choose for this kind of riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis build is currently set up as a wide-range 1x12. That keeps things simple and works well for gravel and bikepacking, but riders who prefer tighter gear steps or a higher road-speed top end may prefer a 2x build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to tweak it? We can talk through tyre choice, bar shape, gear range, contact points or luggage setup before it leaves the shop. Different tyres, more flare, less flare, more road speed or more loaded-trip focus are all things we can help dial in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eFinal word\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose this Brother Cycles Mehteh house build if you want a capable steel gravel bike that is already built with sensible parts and ready for proper riding. It is quick enough for local gravel loops, tough enough for loaded trips, and flexible enough to become the bike you shape around your next adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brother Cycles","offers":[{"title":"Large","offer_id":46489195184320,"sku":"10178","price":7450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/1071\/files\/brothemehtehblackcustom.png?v=1775008492"},{"product_id":"brother-cycles-kepler-house-build","title":"Brother Cycles Kepler│House Build","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"39e6e\" data-offset-key=\"el3qo-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"el3qo-0-0\" class=\"_1mf _1mj\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"el3qo-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003eBuilt for city cruising, big pushes, and even bigger skids, this custom Brother Kepler in 'Teal Is Real' is a flat bar rig with timeless charm and a modern twist.
