Brooklyn Gangsta V1. Frame no.018

Wow this thread took off :)!
Yeah I think the PB needs a few tweaks but it really was a cheap effort to get her on the road and seeing she won't be abused in a park any time soon the current setup will do for now.
Re atomic22 I couldn't fault them at all. Amazing service and the final product is faultless. I only have the front wheel bolts and I never even think of using another lock on it and haven't since I bought them. They machine the washer to the same diameter as the dropout so it sits perfectly and cannot be twisted round unlike pinhead and others. I use pinhead for the steerer cap but am seriously tempted to swap to a22 and also def planning to buy a seatpost collar one and poss a stem faceplate one. They're not cheap but the peace of mind and quality they bring are well worth it!

Afaik the topcap ones will work with he Brooklyn post.

Ah nice, thanks. I'll give it a shot :)

So the Tonic is stripped as are wheels off the V1 and on their merry way to Talbot. Forgot how much fun the Gangsta is!
Long BRP straps handled the box like a boss, love the bag.

I have a feeling this will be heading for a wet coat paintjob soon.. Thinking either matt black or candy black.. Time to bring it up to date with a few new bits too ;)

None of the option, go full fluro.

I'm with Scoble, retina-searing neon or nothing.

Yeah man, bright!

I'm agreeing with Ed too.

Which doesn't happen that often.

I'm tempted to have mine painted too, but @DoktorPepe will have a coronary.

Pre winter scrub and oil up..

Paint looks mint considering the age!

Cheers! It's armortex powder coat. Scratched to f**k but washes out well. V durable.

love the standard headset. frame looks in such good condition as well!

So after four years of pretty much daily use the rear Chubb wheel is off for repair. New bearings, a couple of snapped spokes and a true up. Still absolutely love it!

Ooh hello :)

yes yes!

Selling my medium blue V1, frame/forks/BMW headset only. I paid £1000 for it less than a year ago and want that back plus whatever shipping is needed (if any), it was re-powdercoated in the same colour at Armourtex just after purchase and brand new stickers collected in person from Joe at BMW. Just received a new V3 in large so selling this off as it's a little small for me. pLease PM me if interested.
