TokyoFixedGear - New in!

Gangsta's ain't all they are cracked up to be... they weigh a ton & the same geometry can be had out of a Langster for much cheaper & lighter. I rode one for a month & was not impressed... but if you fall in love with something you tend to do daft unreasoned things like shell out £700. It's a name & a rep you're buying nothing else. Scott, you are clearly blinded by the love.

After two years of constant use both in the city and up to 120 mile+ rides i reckon i'm in a better position to give an honest opinion than you after your month.
Brooklyn machine works didn't invent their rep....they earned it...through making some of the best and most influential products in the bike industry.
Shimano didn't invent v-brakes, BMW did...the race link remains one of the best downhill frames ever made...the gangsta has had countless imitators.

I'm blinded by nothing...but i know what makes a good bike...and my brooklyn will outlast any langster.
