Brooklyn Machine Works

so wish they would make some v1 forks again

they will do a rerun soon!

you're quite right, brake judder do occur in carbon fork, I never experienced anything like that with the Clusterfork though, which to be fair was pretty stiff (after all it was designed for strength + weight in mind).

The Easton were just the right height so the head angle won't be crazy steep, but with a longer rake I'm longed to get.

Scott shown me Austin Horse's new BMW with the carbon fork, though it look pretty good;

Love the Paul's Component brake setup on the front of this Brooklyn!

they will do a rerun soon!

they shouldn't

i want one of those, with a carbon canti fork or a disc fork.

Can't find the BMW logo in a big enough size to be able to vectorize it, but if someone can provide one I may be able to make some stickers for a very decent price. I need a set for my Gangsta and I my mate have a vinyl cutter I can use, so I will probably make more than I need.

Also, BMW has finally replied to my emails and they confirmed that another batch of OG Gangsta fork is planned, no date announced though...

CRA, I'm interested in some all black decals if you're doing a batch. Keep this thread posted!

Think thats the worst gangsta I have seen yet. ^^^

Can anyone tell me what the seatpost size is for a gangsta v2? I've googled around, but cant seem to find a definitive answer between 29.6 and 29.8mm

thanks

V1 or V2?

V2 is 29.8mm definitely.

Just to let you know that BMW have decals in stock.
They are $10 each set + $10 shipping. Just drop them an email, they now reply quickly.
I'll go with the real thing rather than making my own or buying expensive crappy ones.

I wonder if they ever get around to produce some more stems...

And is the seat post really a 29.8mm??

so this is where I am at right now! next up are changes to the pedals including velcro straps, a new saddle, and somwhere down the line some new wheels..

I dig the stem, but don't yet know about the bars. Rides supernice though...

Today I've shot a few pics of my Gangsta just updated.

I'm in love with this bike.

Never thought curved forks looked too special on anything but I'd say your build is amazing. Looking forward to the disc upgrade!

I've got a 29r front wheel I want to use with a disc brake on my v1. Any brake suggestions? I was thinking about these: http://www.carboncycles.cc/?p=197

But not sure of a-c height and how it would affect the handling

I am 6"5 tall - any experiences with a V2 medium size? I really like the looks of the Gangsta but I suppose I am too tall!? :(

I'm 180cm, is that like 6"(?), and I ride v2 large with 75mm stem. And my hands are quite short compared to my legs. So I'd say it might be a tad bit too small for ya :-/

depends on the cockpit setup really. Can't ride this with drops, so had to get a second frame (mielec, not brooklyn) for cx.

The launch pad that was on here a couple of weeks ago sold for a mere £217.50 on eBay just now.

ha, link?!

I was the highest bidder up to £200. But then I cba because I don't need it. At all.

Hi guys I need some help. Could someone who owns a large (50cm) V1 gangsta let me know the seat tube and effective top tube measurements please?

think it's around 58 square, i can measure it later

Sweet jv, let me know when you get around to it.
