one in the classifieds

the brooklyn machine works are working on a third generation Gangster now but it will be a while till they are available...

info?

Wrote them an e-mail about gangsta frames. Got a reply that they are sold out in most of the places and wrote about the info above..

There is also a Tour Boro frame available on:

It's going to be a major pain if you get a rear puncture.

the tour boro looks kinda stupid with those gear hangers, also quite heavy for a road bike and who else needs the custer fork for touring? don't get it.

The cluster fork is way too stiff to Wanna tour with!

Nobody is forcing you to use Cluster fork, if you don't want to, I really don't see what is the problem here.
I found Gangsta is a perfect commuter, and something like Tour Boro would be tempting as a touring bike with a nice CX carbon fork of choice.

Seems like people come here to moan how much they hate BMW. Don't like it? Look away! Plenty of threads/bikes to bitch about.

tetchy much...

I'm still waiting for someone to start Brockley Machine Works. With all the demand on here, it seems like a no-brainer. :)

i reckon this looks like it's be more fun as a street bike than a brklss gangsta

Probably worth noting too that the frame is not actually supplied with the mech hanger attachment - you could just run it single speed with a singleator.
I don't think the bike looks that great but it'd probably be fun to ride and certainly a little more robust than a similar offering from another brand.

It's got track ends though so you wouldn't need a singleator. I think it's pretty cool and I'll probably end up building something similar.

yep no need for singleator with the track ends. looks good as potential do it ALL frame

there seems to be one mount for mudguards near the track ends but no rack mounts anywhere. Is it for backpack track bike touring?

I love some of the BMW stuff but thats just a heavy hybrid.

Interested to see gangsta v3 though

I was more referring to the fact it has 135mm rear spacing

@B0N0R nothing is funner than a brklss gangsta

i live in a world of coast rn

Dibs Panasonic then

this is just weird. i have no idea why would anyone buy a bmw hybrid.

all the good things about V1 are gone, made in brkln, V1 fork..

also gone: RADNESS

they are maybe getting old at the shop in brooklin

I reckon they're just focusing a bit more on function. You look at that frame and think about one of their main riders, Austin Horse; his is modified so it can do tours, sscx, brakeless, the lot. This, in terms of function and do it-allness reminds me of the new cinelli steel bike
