Brooklyn Machine Works

No probs mate.
Aye def those straps, had lots before but nothing as good as them.
TBH the shimmed posts don't look too bad as it's on a couple of mm's and the difference isn't much. Maybe get a cheap post and shim just to try?
And agree with the stems. X2/4 are spot on for the Gangsta look. Puffy carbon ones just don't seem to work.
Just waiting for the Zipp 303 to come through and then it's new wheel time ;)
Stay safe sir. T

Dont go x2,keep that inline post and get longer X4 stem, brooks looks out to me...

Looks sweet.

Cheers!

Put together my v2 after 2 years in hibernation, now contemplating why I havent done it sooner. With the bombproof wheels and frame, I had to have a go in a BMX track near mine. Happy with the build atm but will change the pedals to straps and decent low profile rimz either mavics or tb14 with surly hub or sturmy archer hubs. thoughts?

Cheers!

Shameless self promotion
DA7600 x TB14 Wheelset?

@Señor_Bear the one and only, they always do haha its £8 for non members if you dont want the fuss. i dont think you can use non bmx bieks though.

@packet Its noice but too blingy for stairs and bunny hops.

@Thrasher yesssuh, use to have pegs in them too! but wanna change them to low profilez for that og vibe

Got this V4 on eBay, good price. Didn't pay the £750 asking; fair bit less.
Cool anniversary holographic decals and a minor dent but not fussed about that.
Sorry for shit images!

I had a V2 I used for work years back that I got Vaz to add brake/bottle mounts to then painted (working at Cole Coatings under Dan/Ian at the time) but sadly had to sell it due to money issues at the time. Was very stoked when this came available as was looking for a suitable SSCX type bike that can double as fixed and was gonna buy a MASH one for a similar price.
Still some changes to go & also waiting for CX8.4 + levers but it's great fun.
I might paint it one day, but if I do it'll be in the distant future.

Oh yeah, if anybody has 165mm Silver Sugino75DD I'd be up for swapping!

Got my old V1 out again! Purchased in 2009 and been sitting in my place for the past few years.

Damn thats bright

Looks brand new

Thanks! There’s a few chips here and there but it seems the paint that BMW use is almost as strong as their actual frames

Anyone up for parting with their gangsta for a few pound notes
Pm if anything -

BMW hipster tax
