Brooklyn Machine Works

whats reasonable?

Fuck me - that current build makes me think 2009/10 never happened...

$1300 dollar region

Just keep your eyes open for an ESB - they pop up on here from time to time. Same difference as a Gangsta

You could just pre order a V4 from here:

It's probably better to get one from here as there are three sizes to choose from whereas there are only two sizes for the original V1.

Alright will do bud

Preferably after a v1 tho , just a pain to find one nowadays

Actually better than a Gangsta..

:P

Limits on bb/cranks though as it takes a BMX mid not BSA.

Reasonable and V1 gangsta don't exist now, even harder to get the other frames now they go for daft money.

Just buy a V4 they will still be decent and ride exactly like the V1 will I imagine.

Are those V4's still handmade in Brooklyn? My understanding is that the whole handmade in Brooklyn was only for the V1's?

Yeah Esb are pretty cool but just love the collectability and rare factor of the gangsta , plus I wanna be a BMW owner ://

A bit pissed off that I missed yours recently tbh

.

I would have been happy to sell it to you!

It went to someone else I really respect so am pretty pleased.

Don't think any old dickhead would have been allowed to buy it..

The V3’s were also had made in Brooklyn.

V1 and V3's

You're like I want the hardest to get one now but also for cheap.

You don’t want to be a BMW owner.

Debateable , I mean some people just whack stupid prices on , whilst others have been selling for what I wanting to pay over the past year it’s just finding someone willing to sell

People whack on crazy prices because of the reasons you listed:

collectability and rare factor of the gangsta

Might be worth looking at the V4’s.

Yeah true

If you think V1 Gangsta's are expensive, you should see the price the full suspension brooklyns go for now...

Oh I know

Is V1's seatpost diameter 29.8?

I have a shim to 27.2 since I got the frame so just double checking.

the shop in brooklyn is long gone - a 'nice' new condo building sits in its place :'(

the v4's are made in taiwan to the specs of the original (i believe).
