Thank you for your interest in Brothers Rich!
Brothers Rich was an idea born of 3 siblings (my brothers Jim and John, and me) as a way to share our passions with others by collaborating to create a product of the highest quality and aesthetic appeal, inspired by ideas we each have dreamt up.
The first of these collaborations is a series of bikes highlighted on this site. I've designed and built each one and am excited to share their story with you. Here's how it all began:
I'm an Architect living and working in Baltimore Maryland, but my roots run deep in the south. I was born in Charleston SC and spent most of my life kicking around the Panhandle of Florida (foreshadowing to my latest bike, the Panhandle).
I commute to work on old Raleighs and in early 2013 I bought a vintage Raleigh Dl-1. I had been wanting to build up a Vintage road racer for years to blast around the streets of Baltimore. During my search I came across a stash of these old bikes just south of the city. It was then that I called my big brother John up. As the owner of a retail shop, Oakleaf & Acorn, I knew he'd be able to help sell the bikes as well as help shape the vision and design. I took a loan out, bought the frames and began the process of building up a bike that would eventually become The Charleston. Since then I've also enlisted the help of our father, hauling frames in his pick-up truck while up visiting. Truly a family affair!
Since buying that first Dl-1 I've put countless hours into building these bikes. Initially, I spent most of my weekends searching for quality components that would work with the vintage Raleigh frame, Beyond compatibility issues, modern components I did find were either really poorly made or very high end. There was no in-between. Now with The Charleston, Panhandle and many restoration projects well underway, there are no less hours spent on the painstaking process of building each of these, but there's also a lot of time getting the word out and meeting the people who have also fallen in love with them.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have.
