Brooklyn Machine Works

thanks, i think....

ordered yesterday, arrived today...thats snappy service from tokyo fixed gear! good stuff...

ill get her built up and a pic up - pretty cool frame indeed.

Lacks chain.

Amazon, tut tut

Save the high street

To me it looks like a BMX frame with the wrong wheels in.

Hah!

*hopingthatjoshdidnotseehismonstrousbmw

We've just done a super cool Gangsta V2 build in the shop. Raw short with a Shimano Coaster hub. Its ace.

Here it is...

needs orange cranks and rims and it would be a mongoose maurice!

(ducks and covers)

better off with one of these.
exactly the same sit up and beg riding position.
no toe overlap
a basket
cheaper
lighter
less nickable
lighter wheels so 'nippier in town'

They have been around in the mtb, freeride and bmx scene for a good for years i think, with pretty good reputation.

Here it is...

The supercompactness of those smaller frames looks quite anti to me.

like the coaster build!...

mine got a new front wheel and some commuter add ons...not quite as urbane, but pretty damn good commuting vehicle...

tokyo fixed gear have been ace to deal with...thank you!

what saddle is that?

san marco magmaa....magnesium alloy base tends to snap across the saddle just where the nose starts to widen out to the rear....good other than that....

Really want the white V2... * le sigh *

Really cannot wait for the original V1 fork with canti mount.

drjon, what brake is that you're running?

In case folks interested in the gangsta, but like the original fork haven't spotted this, there's an original cluster fork going for £75 in the for sale forum:

its a shimano r650 ....longish 57mm reach shimano. drilled out rear of cluster fork to take the sunken allen nut but had to use the long version. pretty reasonable brake, though a paul racer would have been nicerer....

Really cannot wait for the original V1 fork with canti mount.

are you still waiting for the fork? pictures? custom made? price?

I'm still waiting, it have to be custom because I specced for a clearcoated raw fork with canti mount, which mean I'll have to wait for a while till BMW get more fork end/plate for their fork.

ok. and the price? if it's nothing for here, then please via message.

anyone selling/ know anyone who is selling a gangsta? either v1 or v2, dont care.

preferably a 40cm

cheers :)
