Brooklyn Machine Works

no more coasting?

A V1? Just curious, did it come out of the 'shop with the rear canti mounts or were they added later?

Yep, V1. They were added and frame was resprayed.

Nice. Looks good. Really like the white on white decals.

The shop is closing..

Maybe I should have waited before selling the bike huh?

no regret tho.

loooooool

eBay it fam.

I know, I did feel a bit bad after reading the news.

This is the second frame builder that's shut up shop a couple of weeks after I've got one of their frames. I got a Jericho mountain bike about 15 years ago and same thing happened.

Hahaha

i guess the V3 didn't do the saving they were hoping for. to be honest i'm surprised they were still going in 2016

Kinda amazing considering the price tag, surely they sold enough to make a profit?

they have closed before and reopened. shame though. where is pharrel in all this?

they probably genuinely did cost quite a lot to make hence the price tag, i've only seen about 3/4 on teh webs. Did they ever actually release the large one?

I was waiting for one in large, never saw one, this is shit...

This is true, didn't know they never sold the large one!

Guess the problem came before they could make the rest, that or there are loads of large v3's sitting in a factory in Brooklyn somewhere...

Is a shame tho.

i don't even see why it's a shame they where cool in the 90s and early 00s but they never changed with the times

Shame as they where a cool small (right?) company, who made a bike I really enjoy.

But I get your point, would be have been interesting to see what they had done if they had pushed it a bit rather than making the same frame again.

they where a cool small (right?) company

they've been owned by multi millionaires for a while now

maybe they couldnt be arsed to transition into gravel, disc road and cx segments

who would buy a new fixie these days :-)
