Brooklyn Machine Works

fook that's a lot of money. They will probably still sell though. big in Japan etc

this is their last chance to milk the asian markets. The fixie bubble has already bursted in the west

Officially up for sells. Will be interesting to see the geo if it's changed much. Anyone reckon the tubing material/choice will make much of a weight difference? Wouldn't mind one but think I'll be sticking w mine..

those colours are super nice. have to say the v3 looks closer to the v1 than the v2 did

i really like that it has bottle cage mounts and a 27.2 seatpost

27.2 post was not a problem before. a shim costs under 10€ and you can use your regular posts.

feel sorry for the peeps that bought a 29.8 thomson.

The only problem is that it look out of place.

Does it?

$1400 for the new gangster when the touring version costs $950?

Is there really that much difference in production costs between the two or is it just the hipster tax of a gangster v3?

Think that one wasn't made in Brooklyn like the V3 Gangsta.

You're right, not too bad actually.

how large do you think size large will be?

anyone know roughly what size the medium is? price is madness but im actually in new york in a month and have the biggest craving for a track bike again...

most likely the sizes are quite similar to the old ones?

do iiiit. midnight blue is to die for. makes me want to paint mine

i fancy the yellow i think

I do quite like the green.

I just ordered 6 of those uniqlo tees and no o e in Sweden will be wearing them. WIN! @ £4.90 I couldn't say no.

They're going to make a version in Taiwan, which will be closer to the boro price. And I think they're only making 42 in Brooklyn anyways (14 in each size)...

I should stop looking at these V3, the more I do the more I want one:

wheres that pic from? they look great

It's on the Brooklyn site in the news section. Few other pics there too.

So i finished refurbing the V1 i got from @Dom today pictures to follow shortly. happy with the outcome, cant warrant spending $$ on the V3 i love my V1

^pics!!

So I stripped the frame and went for a phosphate treatment and Matt lacquer. The phosphate will act as a barrier to rust but also discolour with age, a better option to Lacquering straight over raw steel. I've added a close up to show how the discolouring is already happening. Kept most of doms finishing kit, changed the saddle and crankset putting the camo AArn I managed to get my hands on. Stoked :)
