Brooklyn Machine Works

not to wax too nostalgic, but it was announced yesterday that one of the best venues in the city, which was a block away from the Stagg street shop, would close, possibly permanently

when cultural treasures like these keep getting priced out one has to wonder how long it will take for the whole city to feel like a bland luxury condo

@swedeee

Is that a -10 degree Thomson ?

Picked up a Large V1, first build attempt after a cleaning and a set brand new OG stickers

Jap bling drivetrain, PhilWood cog

Matching cap

great opportunity to get KINK Samouraï grips & BMW bar ends out of the stock

Lovely m9

V jel.

Dibs and all yhat

Nice detail love the blue bits.

really liking the stem. coloured zens are growing on me a lot, might need to invest in one for my black bicycle.

Been looking for a V1 fork and found this company in Japan, that is basically a copy of the Gangsta Track. Do you guys think this fork would fit on a small V2?

Also, have BMW's gone up in price because of the shop closing up?

1000€ is allot for a knockoff...

cracker

They're expensive because of how hard it is to get one.

You might as well get a LOW// for that price.

@NumeroUno don't forget the "Pharrell's effect"

yeh!

i wonder where that is now

oh man! not many large V1s about. nice work!

^^Just peel off the fabric no?

Ive got one of those buffalo V1's - this is what it looks like underneath..

saw this through a shop window in new york, maybe in soho(?), but it was late 2014 so maybe not there anymore =D

shop was near late Mott Street Cycles

@T0mg Not sure the blue really fit the build, will try with a silver DA soon.

@swedeee I know, I feel pretty lucky, I guess it's the only one in France, I think BMW had never been distributed here.

@Trasher Really really nice, Pasela tires ?

Got these with my V2, but have no use for them

Could anyone hazard a guess at how much they're worth? Wanna know if I should try and sell them or just give them away

I think matching sets were about £25 from BMW when they existed. I'm guessing an original matching set would be at least £30-40 these days. Japanese eBay sells individual stickers for around £10. Their full sets when they do come up go for at least £30 depending what crazies are bidding on them. Cheers. T

Stick them on eBay for £50, some mug will pay. If you do feel like giving them away, I wouldnt mind a HT sticker as a pisstake/tribute for my Rych

I'm off to Brooklyn Wednesday any ideas if the shops open? I'll try swing by and see what the latest is

Their instagram doesn't suggest anything is open, they seem to be off selling bags in Japan.

When I was trying to get to see them at the shop 18 months ago the guys at King Kog were very helpful. you could try dropping into see if they know what's going.

Boys, they closed their shop. BMW is over for now.
