Brooklyn Machine Works

I'm flying to NY on Monday. I'm in the Bushwick area on Thursday and planning to call into BMW, hopefully they'll be closed, or sold out of all their medium frameset.

Otherwise it could end up being a very expensive afternoon.

If they are on the website they should have em stock.

excuse me, that's East Williamsburg you're talking about

There is something about those wheels on that bike. So wrong, but so right.

Actual wheels are great. It's the gumwalls that doesn't look right on this build.

I've never liked gumwall tyres.

I think they can look good on the right builds:

VS

Can't and won't agree.

I get the idea of two tone white wall tyres for period correct fifties builds and those absurd low-riders that the Hispanic kids favour, but they just look wrong as far as I'm concerned.

Next you'll be telling that there's a place in the world for different coloured tyres.

There was a black gangsta that had gumwalls that looked dope, but as a general rule they look shite.

I think its the fact that they are tubulars and the bike has risers that is wrong, gumwalls look good IMO

It's track wheels on a tarck bike, nuff said

Someone said gumwalls...

Lolz

they were £4.99 in the sale

Ah. Well, £5 it is then. Doesn't look like they are on sale from uniqlo any more and ebay et al all seem to be around 13 plus. Anyway, if anyone wants it, it is just sat around waiting for someone...

Ill take the tee...

Hey, everyone. I'm about to purchase a brooklyn gangsta V2 short version. I've never seen a gangsta in real life. I'm 1.77 cm tall. Will the short version be a good fit for me?

No bikes in the world is gonna fit your 1.77cm ass.

P.S better smaller than bigger.

Does anyone know the weight of the V1 gangsta fork? they are available on the BMW.com store now, but i cant find the weight of them anywhere! Im guessing they are in the 700g region?

Way more than that

balls. looking at the weight of the surly steamroller i can see i was way off. the simple shape of the V1 fork is just attractive, just wish there were other forks similar (other than bladed carbon forks) for sale :(

Think they're over 1kg, can check for you at home. Give Talbot a shout as they're making something similar but with better options. Cheers
