i don't disagree, more just curious to see what ever became of it. like a child star that disappeared.brooklyn died when doc left (imho, of course).
what the silencer?seems odd that there never was even a price tag to salvage it. Great people and what a plush riding bike!
i also remember someone having a racelink built up super light. sounds about right in terms of weight / year.true about the silencer.
Kid years ago at mtn creek had one set up as a lighter version. I'm guessing 2007? I think he claimed around 40 lbs.
The silencer only seemed to do one thing,,, silent the production and it has the wrong wrong brand identity. The Brooklyn logo was something marketable beyond people that ride. I thought they sold sweatshirts and t's in Asia?
I thought most of them cracked on the swingarm?i also remember someone having a racelink built up super light. sounds about right in terms of weight / year.
brand identity was irrelevent, anyone who knew doc knew the quality of his bikes.
i believe there were a handful that did, but IIRC it was never a prevalent issue. I seem to recall that one of the first batches was built with a lighter tubeset as they were intended to be true race bikes, so that may have been part of it.I thought most of them cracked on the swingarm?

Yup, the original 14 were built with a lighter tubeset that also lacked the gussets found on the newer frames. My old RL was number 96/12 because the original front triangle cracked at the headtube. After I sold it though, it did eventually crack through the swingarm too.i believe there were a handful that did, but IIRC it was never a prevalent issue.

i rode my friends SR6 and SR8's in various tube sets and while it was probably down to the way his bike was setup, i didnt think it rode as nice as the RaceLinksI would have liked one of these-

I had #17 which had the older headtube gussets and I presumed therefore the lighter tubeset. I didn't see a swingarm crack, but woodys minilink died that way, and I looked at another RL that had a cracked swingarm, so I passed. He always complained about his being so flexy. Not sure I'd go for a silencer without a traingulated swingarm.Yup, the original 14 were built with a lighter tubeset that also lacked the gussets found on the newer frames.

Is that Enduro?Cant figure out how to post photos on my ipad. Mine went in the swingarm. It was well used though...
