Brooklyn Machine Works

btw also, he's a few years late..

I dont understand the last comment but never the less, I respect your opinion.

@NumeroUno make an educated guess perhaps regarding my proposal?

I have no clue what you're referring to, sorry.

If I may ask, What would you like to know?

nevermind

sell, celebrate and be merry

This V3 is still well under a third of the price...

Yea that's a steal. It's very hard to find a V3 for sale. I'm surprised it took so long to sell.

Gangsta Tracks are a Holy Grail for many peeps here in NYC.

To think that when I posted my number 18 gangsta on the second post of this very thread, ten years ago. . . Back when the frameset sold for about 900 quid in the UK... Many people laughed and called it overpriced... And now jokers are selling them for 2500...they're great frames... But they're not two and a half grands worth of great! :)

I hear you.

They're pretty hyped up now, especially since the BMW shop is closed. Someone will buy it. Demand is high here in NYC, can't say the same for other places.

But for under a grand you could get something with the same geo built...

Should I repaint my frame?

I have the Brooklyn Element E1 Protype. If I repaint it it'll lose its value. I just feel like the color is too bright. It's yellow btw.

No

you'd lose its goin price of $950,000,000

Funny. Lol.

I honestly wouldnt even sell it. Thats why I was debating on repainting it.

Whoever spends $3k on a brooklyn needs their head looking at

If your not going to sell it then doesn't matter what you do with it. So paint it if you want to

@NumeroUno
What's the difference between your "prototype" and a Launchpad?

Its basically the debut of the element collab they once did with the skateboard brand element.

Geometry is very close to V1 gangsta. Only difference is that is frame is extremely Small and the cluster fork is made with a different metal.

Looks mor v2/launchpad to me

where did they sell those? i remember the collab. I would keep it yellow. bumble bee?

This is a Launchpad... with a sticker Element.

ye the round chain/seatstays implicate launchpad. Nice frame as it has more rear tyre clearance vs gangsta

They never sold it. This is the collab frame which is actually just a prototype they repainted yellow for the actual collab.

That's what I was thinking to be honest. I want to do a nice powder coat in a deep blue or oxblood.

well... Like I said, It's a launchpad.
