Building on their mantra of “real bikes for real people”, Brodie Bikes from Vancouver, BC, is releasing new models for adventure off-roading, as well as complete bikes in their high-end frame designs.
“We’re in the business of making bikes we can be stoked on”, says Bruce Spicer, Product Manager. “We continually evolve the bikes, depending on technology advancements, our own riding styles, and the needs of our customers.”
One such bike is the new Wolff, a stainless steel disc brake road bike in their Speed series. The Romulus, Remo and Tiber all switch over to disc brakes, too, all with clearance for wider tires and/or fenders. Some that don’t get discs move to long-reach rim brake calipers to get the same benefit. Plus, the bikes will be offered in more complete builds of both the titanium and stainless steel frames…
Brodie Bikes is named after Paul Brodie, and is still a family run operation. Originally an artist and motorcycle fanatic he began brazing frames for mountain bikes in 1985. An inductee to the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, Paul has created an international fan base for the Vancouver brand. Building on the idea of making the bikes fun, they are working on adding a bit of adventure to the line for 2015. Here are a few highlights from the line.
