would of preferred a black fork but they only come in white.

well done, very commendable!

@ yunki

i don’t care if you wanna call me names…

i’m glad you’ve had good news about your fiend and family!

i’m still hoping for the same…

@stumpyjon

no selective moral high ground! i would have the same attitude if the op had posted about New Zealand, Libya, Bahrain, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Australia……

but he didn’t, he posted about shimano/japan!

you may have had no intention, but you must see how insensitive and offensive this is?

my friends parents are still missing, their town isn’t there anymore. if i could swap riding for their safety i’d never get on a bike again!

please don’t reply! just let this drop down the page

who give a ****! thousands of people missing and your worried if you can get a new bit for your bike.

i believe loco mentioned he was working on something? mail him or maybe he’ll pop in…

50% of retail, sorry. evan at that people will still want to pay less :roll:
the second hand market sucks. good luck!

to be honest, i don’t think you could go wrong with either! both are great bikes and both have great customer service, as long as you don’t go through silverpish! (you can read why i have such a low opinion of sivlerpish in my history)

both these bikes were on my short list. i ended up with the 5spot.

please,please,please stop posting these ridiculous fat bikes!

i haven’t any money to spend on a new bike and i really want a fat bike!

i’ve recently moved and now live 3 mile away from miles and miles of beach :|

@ op look great!

never liked their stuff, so no loss to me.

none of them are perfect…

the remote is well worth the extra money. i like the fact that in “oh ****” moments i can get the saddle out of the way quickly, without taking my hands off the bars.

Same old argument coming up again its the wheels of few against the feet of many! Common sense applies here.

+1

if there are existing tracks, paths, i really don’t see the issue.
if bike riders are cutting new trails then i could understand the argument.
in my experience walkers are more likely to stray from the path than bikers.

excuse my stupidity :oops:

again

This is a very special and fragile landscape of international importance

if this is the case then why are thousands of walkers allowed to walk all over it every year?

some people need to actually read the article!

as said above who’s more likely to stray from the path, walkers or bikers?

there’s some **** high dandy horses around :roll:

please tell me that the BMW FS-bmx is yours! If so, how does it ride?

no not mine, but i have ridden a couple of them.
i was riding that one the day the pic was taken, first time out since the refurb. 8O

honestly: it was a fun bike to skoot around the lower east side. would i want to own it? no

the mini link was mine (my second one :oops: )

made because they could,

Don’t know if this has been posted before,

at least twice in the last week.

a) he crossed the road without looking, he is at fault.

b) :cry:

Funny how a shop with such bad staff attracts such obnoxious customers.

what makes the op obnoxious? or was it you who served him? :wink:

brooklyn machine works. great customer service, but the owner is a mate, so doesn’t really count.

turner. again great customer service if thing go wrong.

i can only remember one truly crap bike, and that was a spooky motorhead. they went bust a couple of weeks after i got my frame. so no help what so ever.

i want brooklyn to build me one! not demon!
You do know that the original builders arn’t making Brooklyns any more don’t you. They were taken over and the original frame builders left…

you do know that is bollocks! please get your facts right!

one of the original partners (doc) left to do his own thing.
the other partner (joe) is still there making bikes and bits for his truck!

joe and family are very good friends of mine…

i’m a dog owner and love dogs but…

if you hear the dog coming, get off your bike and keep the bike between you and the dog.

as it tries to bite you through the frame, kick/stamp it hard! if this doesn’t stop it, use your bike as a weapon.

last summer on my local ride, i’d stopped to let a dog walker past on a bit of double track. rode off next thing the dog has got its teeth in my leg, making me crash off the side of the trail. before the dog could get to me again, i went for it, **** **** i’m gonna **** kill you you **** **** (i must of looked mental :oops: ) if i could of got my hands on it,i’d of beat the shit out of it.
the owner was going mad! telling me to leave his dog alone. i was **** livid, so walk up show him the puncture wounds on my calf. his answer, oh but it’s only a little bite! i don’t know how i didn’t punch him.
i gave him a little more advise and walked away. i’ve never bumped into him again?

and yes i still hold a grudge :D

does the top tube curve upwards? or should i stop drinking?

been waiting 2 years for brooklyn machine works to build me an xc ish hardtail

Maybe you should talk to Tom at Demon Frameworks. He’s a UK builder turning out exceedingly pretty stuff like this:-

i want brooklyn to build me one! not demon!
that frame doesn’t do a lot for me :|

bb hight 8O

joplin 4, has some play but i’ve yet to notice while actually riding.

@ WCA

have emailed you something, hopefully it will help :wink:

:oops:

been waiting 2 years for brooklyn machine works to build me an xc ish hardtail :|

just to confuse the issue :oops:

bos deville, work just as well as the float. (better imo but the last 36 i had was a 05/06) cheeper, lighter and need a service once a year, not every 20 hrs.

this chain device can be fitted on to iscg tabs or onto your bb

does your bike have iscg tabs?

i wouldn’t touch their brakes with yours! didn’t think much of their customer service either.

things may of changed since i last used them (2003) but once bitten…

or replace the whole thing with some Shimanos.

I am shocked and appalled that you said that. Shimano breaks are the biggest pile of crap i’ve ever seen, non serviceable and either on and off or pull to the bars.

not in my experience, (apart from servicability) have used saints, slx for downhill and have xt on my trail bike.
plenty of modulation…

(troll)hopes in the alps, no(troll)

make sure you do a full bleed, with a NEW bottle of dot?.

contaminated dot fluid boils at a lower temperature and causes brake fade. not something you want when your doing 30+ and the only thing do stop you going over a cliff is a pile of tv sized boulders.
i know through experience. i put a dent in my head and more importantly i put a large dent in my brooklyn. i have only had brakes that use mineral oil ever since.

if you feel the need for new brakes, ime magura are the best i’ve used.

i would beat the shit out of him.

that what should happen! but it seems in this country the thieving scumbags have more right than the people they steel from? :(

but some times its worth it…

does your bike have iscg tabs?

as said on the other thread, just go ride your bike how it is. your work out what you need and what you don’t.

not so long ago people rode the same bike for dh and xc.

This is why you mustn’t approve of her behaviour.

sorry i didn’t think, i know she has a problem.

mamadirt your a very naughty girl! don’t do it again :lol: (until the next one)
