Thanks to all this "porn" i'm getting more and more interested on this bikes..

I marvel with the simplisity and K.I.S.S. aproach to the frame construction & details after looking at them a lot i still have a few question ...

anybody have photos of how the swingarm axle pivots on the frame and how the two main sprockets rotate at the same time, is this a "keyway" spline...!?!?
how the bushing and/or are made to work, i'm just kind of a geek about axles, bushings and rotating surfaces...specially when they do everything at the same time.

thanks in advance, I really apreciate how this things are build..

There an alu sleeve pressed inside the frame, and swingarm bearings sits om the outside, driveshaft-bearings on the inside. The cogs are connected with a splined axel inside the sleeve. Excelent construction.

thanks that was pretty much the way i figure it will work, this guys make bicycles in the way many vintage motorcycles were to made, simple, strong and made to last(and be fix and repair) for ever..

now I can see why the Love is so much..

they are cool as H666

yeah, that's a large part of the appeal for me. they're modern day classics. very old-world in the design & materials implementation. worthy of restoring & holding on to for a long time. most big hit / dh frames built these days (regardless of price) have very limited lifespans. bmw's are built on the heavy end of the scale for longevity, and if something does break, it can be, in many cases, repaired. in additional to bomber structural considerations, the aesthetics are dead sexy. the rl is so refined & elegant - an amazing piece of functional industrial art - it still pains me not to have one (someday...). that said, my tmx will soon be passed to a new owner (i'm spreading the love so to speak). a couple new pictures coming...

With other words, you're selling the tmx, to get a racelink..?

 

[xy9ine]

no. i've allready built up a new pdc (a more appropriate starting point for something seriously anorexic), and the tmx has become redundant. kinda sad to see it go, but the new bike is a better tool for my needs. it'd be cool to just hang it on the wall, but i really need to purge the extraneous toys. for now the rl just isn't in the books, but i'll keep my eyes open for something interesting in the future...

Dude, get a RL dude, you won't be sorry. The build quality is amazing, especially if you like precision fabrication and CNC work.

 

[patineto]

I don't know if $500 is to little or to much(sound kind of cheap from what i see of B.M.W.) for a Brooklyn park bike but i just found for sale on Craigslist a minute ago..

here is part of the add..." Brooklyn machine works park bike frame, 1 size, white $500.00"

maybe somebody will get lucky, I have no idea who the seller is, I just saw it and i just hope somebody will like to have it...

 

[The Amish]

for that much loot you might as well just order a new one and get the color you want.

ah pdawg, i'd been doing so good about all this. those pictures aren't helping with this new form of separation anxiety i'm experiencing. going to be more crushed when the bike's no longer yours than i was when you first got it chromed.

hey sverre, thanks for the congrats on my one-thousand post count. i'd like to thank my sponsors without whom none of this would be possible. thanks to the monkey for providing the forum in which i've managed to whittle away many valuable hours distracted from my accounting duties here at magpix. :dancing:

 

[DHS]

still think we should have dressed you up in chrome knight armor for diabloween.

yes i have some here..

 

[tmx]

that could be funny. i'd have to hand out sunglasses from all the glare.

 

[DHS]

we do anyway.

 

[DHS]

[DHS]

he wants $5000.

sorry to do the ad here.

chroming a brooklyn is an arcane science analogous to alchemy. it is a perilous task wrought with danger - fear the vengefull chrome godess, for her fury crushes the souls of men who tempt fate.

[Tonycalves]

WOW I was touching myself while looking at that frame. T that was yours? What I ever do to those guys that they wouldnt chrome 1 for me? Perfect Friday reference.

 

[tmx]

no way that's my frame anthony, what are you smokin? doncha remember i told you about this guy from vancouver who bought one used and chromed it out. that's it right there. besides (eh-hem, lurkers...) mine doesn't have a chrome brake bar :mumble:

Awh what the hell happened there. Damn monkey. Ah well, at least i know my duplicate reply isn't exactly out of place in this mega thread

 

[DHS]

thats just wrong. reason for selling?

he is the bike shop owner of were i did some part time work. the same place where Doomed 105 was able to get his frame. though the owner had it painted wrong. he now wants to sell becuase its the end of the season. and its the kind of bike he's not gonna ride for atleast 6months. so he wants to get ride of it as is now. and maybe next year just buy a FQ. that would hit is style a lot better it seems.

now does anyone have any old style black shinburgers around?

can i get sparkly Burple when i get my paint redone?
haha.

 

[Shortbus]

Very good choice. I have found out through real life experience that BLUE frames are just hella lot faster. \m/
