Brooklyn Machine Works

Its worth $100 easy. Would be good as I missed out on the new ones they were making!

raw forks are sick, might bid on them then unload my V1s with the v brakes bosses if anyone wants

Bet they go for a fortune.

If you do lemme know bout them forks swede

Why not asking maddernj for his forks? just saying... ;)

Was just about to say the same thing - perfect opportunity for a swap!

These are now more expensive than the new ones that I'm currently having made.. pretty mad haha!

Total madness.

I'll bid $300 and have them posted at my dad's in D.C.

Any takers for £300 later on? :)

Welcome to the club, sexy...

White tyres aren't allowed in the club ever.

I was talking about the frame I've just received but you're damn right. Current build is a failure.

Can we see full photo.
Kinda feeling the white tyre... I feel dirty

Looking to put a front caliper on just for the meantime till I decide on whether to go full CX mode.
Are these any good?

so, get dirty:

@Dakin, I would like to go SS on my V2, too. Seems that Shimano R650

or Dia Compe BRS 202 can do the job.
(Shim' looks nice)

Reckon 57mm drop is enough?

My modified Park Bike.

I bought the complete bike from Seth Rosko (http://rosko.cc/) who is ex BMW. This frame has been modified to run a 26" rear. According to Seth this bike was a middle ground before they came out with the 26" Big Ben.

It's been modified by cutting a new slot into the dropout and then modifying the rear brake bridge to take a 26" wheel. A ISO disk tab was then welded on. It runs an old american style eccentric bottom bracket.

It looks like it's had a lot of good use in its time, and has recently it's been sitting in a workshop in Brooklyn gathering dust. So far I've had the rear wheel rebuilt as the rim was shot, but will probably replace a few other bits and generally clean it up.

Colour is sparkle granny smith, but the paint is chipped in plenty of places. Not sure if I'll get a respray or clean and clear-coat it.

It'll take a 26" rear but the clearance is tight, 26x2.1 doesn't fit, I think 26x1.95 might fit but didn't have one to hand. Right now I've got a 26x1.75 which is fine.

So far it's been great fun to ride :)

I've got the R650 on mine, fits ok.

but did you drill the forks?

Ah yeah I forgot, I did have to drill them out a wee bit. The hole on the V2 fork wasn't quite wide enough for the bolt on the R650.

OK. Since I don't want to mess around with my forks, the R650 is not that nice.

When will i know if i have additional custom fees to pay ?

Looking on USPS tracking it went through customs clearance this afternoon.

When you get a letter through your door or phone them up because you've noticed it hasn't moved for days once arriving in the local depot yet you've heard nothing from them.

Thanks, some way to go yet then...

V2 back up for sale
