Brooklyn Machine Works

Indra did you get that from chari then, Ged quoted me 575...

Yeah ordered from Chari, brilliant service.

Did you ask them to send it as a gift, or was it 500 with handling fee, vat etc?

Fucks sake, chari is out of Longs... guess ill be waiting on Ged

does the sram omnium crankset work on the gangsta? I recently read somewhere that the external BB messes up the chainline... True or cheap talk?

42.5 mm chainline on the Omniums when used with DA

Compete BS omniums work greeat!

sweet...

how about the difference between 165mm and 170mm? does it really make a difference?

is there anywhere on here a discussion about crank length?

My family !

Once again I find myself lusting after a V1... I have to remind myself that the Donohue does 90% of what I'd want from a gangster, and most of it better...

Nah it doesn't. You NEED a Gangsta. I learnt this today :)

Prove it...

My family !

Is that my old one?

Nothing does it better than a Gangsta. ;)

^^ unless it's been nicked from my garage and resprayed within a day, no ;)

^ this, TM - you think it'll do it better than a gangsta, but it won't, because it won't be a gangsta, and therefore you won't be gangsta... but seriously isn't the "long" version your exact measurements?

Fair.
THought the white with the chips looked marked up in exactly the same spots

I really love the look of the gansta. I've not got space for one and I'll get some sort of grief of I buy one, but I think it's worth taking the plunge for.

The raw colour, it's just the raw tube that have been clear coated?

one day i will cure my itch for a V1... althought i swear donohue would be nowhere as near as stiff/robust as a bmw v1?

Gangsta: into big tyres before it became mainstream.

This so much, yesterday we both had Brooklyn out set up completely differently but both were cool in their own way.

Gangatas are so versatile and so pretty, today I've got mudguards and 28c tyres on mine.

Just ordered mine, in very bright green...

Welcome to the club.

I got sad the last few days, so much Gangsta-talk and still just a 57cm long top-tube :-(

Just ordered mine, in very bright green...

i'm excited for you

V1 and friends..
