Brooklyn Machine Works

this is great, v well done

Asked the guy on Insta about the foot retention, he said footjam everywhere 🤷‍♂️

Those were the days!

Wheyyyy

LOLLLLL, wild.

Did a longer ride today. The gearing is too big at 43:15 so will drop it and take 20psi out of the tires.

The DXR hub comes with 4 cogs so these are my options without having to change the chainring. Should be fine.

Not sure about the bars, they feel like they need a bit more sweep.

Now the question, do I sell the yellow gangsta or this?
The park is a hell of a ride !

no offense but sell that. park bikes ride absolutely terribly. bb is stupid high even for 24". heavy as sin too

My v4. I got it from meseroll last christmas. After a full winter using it to go to work i am really pleased with it :)

Initially built it with m950 xtr vbrakes but the bushings are now full of dirt and i need to service it. The motolites works great but when their return springs are loaded they tend to unscrew the amovible brake bosses. Locktite was needed.

Just purchase a v2 fork from kingkog. I'll probably built it with the v2 fork, brakeless, smaller ring and slick tires for this summer.

That's Miclobikes selling that

rip to the customer who buys it

Whats wrongs with it?

Out of curiosity, has anyone on the forum owned or currently own a racelink frame?
Keen to hear from anyone who has one and still rides dh on it. I'm wondering how they actually ride and whether it would just feel totally shit compared to my modern dh bike.

I hardly ever see them come up for sale and when they do they have a ridiculous price. But I fantasize about a mid life crisis retro dh build quite a lot.

Tora cycles of course do a modern inspired frame but it doesn't say Brooklyn Machine Works on it :(

think @Black_Rainbow_Project had one?
