ALBAM & BROTHER LAUNCH CYCLE-FRIENDLY COLLECTION & BIKE

Independent East London frame builders, Brother Cycles, formed in 2008 by brothers Will and James, specialise in track and road frames, concentrating on the kind of models they’ve always enjoyed riding. Here they create a limited edition frame for Albam. A simple, utilitarian city ride which will go on sale soon featuring Brooks and VO Gran components. In return, Albam produce a range of what we’d call cycle-friendly clothing rather than cyclewear. A 100% cotton grey sweatshirtfeatures a mixed logo print, internal elbow patches, ribbed cuffs and hem and an internal ticket pocket for carrying small items whilst on the go. A circular loom knittee keeps a comfortable fit and shape thanks to the lack of seams, available in navy or white, while an English tech fabric traditional cycling cap lined with Japanese chambray has been finished off with Corozo Nut buttons. Completing the line; an old-school musette bag to be worn across body while you’re zipping around and about.
