Brooklyn Gangsta V1 - RAW

damn! I wanted them for a Nice Jap bike too.

Just seen this and it's super rad.

Happy to do pics provided I manage to get my camera back from repair eventually haha

If I was building a Gangsta, this is exactly the Gangsta I would build. Honestly, the only thing I would change are the pedals...

I'm still so bitter that the small size don't fit me.

Lovely Gangsta...Is this a 46cm?

Thank you for all positive comments!

Yep, it's 46cm.

Hey buddy, you figured out who does the best clear lacquer or powdercoating? Just wondering seeing how negative Armourtex were about the whole thing..

My thoughts about the repainting. Don't put just lacquer or if you do it it's better to cover it up in some stone hit tape made for cars. My painter put like 6 layers of lacquer on it and couldn't take the finnish winter at all. Are you gonna use it as a good weather bike or all arounder?

The rust it has have been there in the same condition from early february. I was supprised that it stood put. On rainy days it will just drip that rusty water.

I was looking into clear coat powdercoat before I decided to sell it but found also some pics that showed this method turning the whole bike more in to a goldish direction. I didn't personally like that at all.

Build is looking good though!

Think the best way to go about it is to wrap the HT and top of the ST where it has those RAW features and then get it sandblasted and a primer to get rid of the rust for good. Then think to good with gun metal and a clear lacquer.
