Not selling without the Brev-M fork. Thomson stem and spacers are not included.

SOLD

This blue one with 1" threaded fork happens to be mine nowadays thanks to a friend. Phone pic taken few months ago when it was still clean and tidy. Easiest my favorite bicycle. Just love it.

I had one few years back. I think it rides great. Nice one bike to rule them all frame especially for people who prefer less bb drop and steeper ST & HT angle than for example with Steamroller. Also a lot cheaper than Mash Work (has less tyre clearance of course though should fit most 35mm cross tires tightly). Only thing I´d change is the seatpost binder bolt --> separate collar.

My do-everything-everyday Dropout.

Keirin frame builders can make it up to 90degrees no probs: http://www.njs-export.com/collections/frames-by-price/products/umezawa-90-degree-3-50-5cm

Hey, this is mine. New stem, great feeling, my favorite bicycle.

^ Thanks Dom! The size is medium aka 46cm.

I think gangsta is really nice all-around-full-year-around-beat-the-shit-out-of-it frame/bike. It fits 35mm cross tyres which are decent enough at wintertime even here in Finland (at least most of the time). The frame looks a bit weird but I personally like the style bmw ended up designing it. Like there´s everything wrong when you look at it but somehow it still makes sense and feels fast when you ride one.

Of course there are many frames that you can use year-around-all-around etc. and some will of course do it better than gangsta in terms of tyre clearance, flexibility or whatever. It´s just something you prefer for some reason or other. Otherwise we all would be riding cross-checks.

Had a chance to own og gangsta frameset. After contemplating maybe 5 seconds bought it, stripped the V2, built up the V1 and got rid of V2. C´est la vie.

I might order from Ted soon as I know there is a wait on making em. Its like a month and if order at the end of feb won't be ready till end march. So far away.

Mine took over two months. At the time Ted was really busy but all the deadlines he gave me never held either. So..it might take lot longer than estimated.

Two pics more:

The fork is not a V1 fork but one made by Ted James. It's beefier than thin profiled V1 as you can see. I've been quite happy with it though it really took quite a while to get it. I've had it for about two months now. I like the looks also.

Tyres are Kenda Smallblock8 35mm.

Not taken from the right angle but qualifies as clearance porn I guess. 700c & 23mm tyre, 25mm won´t fit.

This is my gangsta V2. Great bike, really could work as the only one I´ll ever need. Instead of hoarding I could learn to take better photos for example.

That's what i need.

Ever ridden with any one on normal mtb's? and how is it with spd's?

I've been riding trails mostly by myself. Without brakes you'll have to take it slower when hitting descends for example. On rocky trails pedal strikes tend to happen time to time - it's harder to avoid them. But I like riding fixed and even brakeless on trails. Of course you are slower than somebody with brakes and freewheel but I like the feeling. Somehow I keep steadier pace and keep on pushing longer with fixed gear. Some descends can be scary but it's fun to find a way to ride them down.

Spd's work out just fine: better control than with flat pedals and straps.

Fixed gear monster cross and some finnish autumn trails. I had tons of fun feeling stupid at the same time.

^ That´s shitty situation. Maybe mielec has some difficulties building up a fatbike frame and while trying solve them out completes other orders. Or did they weld up the frame already?

Ofmega Mistral?
