Custom MG Flight 112 Brooklyn Machine Works Park Bike

what a lame concept. somehow, i just knew,when Ferrell bought into the company, it would turn into an urban gimmick. only to end up in rap videos and have the boutiqueness of the bmw's tossed right into the sh!tter...

brooklyn bikes are gonna end up at wallmart soon...

you knew this, and so did, ohhhh a lot of other people. I'm kinda surprised it took less than a year for it to start...

i don't remember any discussion nor did i participate in any, it's just my little "i told you so" to myself i guess. i find it funny because i was actually saving up for a race-link before i heard doc was stepping away. it first i was still going to go the bmw route, but i am clearly stoked to not have done so. with this new introduction, i would have had to take it out back and bash it with a hammer till it was in small pieces and just thrown away the junk...

Guess DJ's shouldn't DJ(or ride street) then? I'll also call Ferrari up later to let em know lots of non-race car drivers, even rappers, are rolling around in their work. I'll post up with their response later...

That being said, its not my style bike either. I like em cleaner, lighter, more mono tone, but its not my bike.

Eccentric BB on a DJ/Park bike, why? That makes no sense at all.


Edit: Does it also have Horz. dropouts
you can effectively shorten the chainstay length by turning the cups. frame does have horz drops. its a really out dated frame, i still have mine from '01. they should have used the ACL. that production frame is nice.

No, no. Keep doing stuff like this. Then maybe I can finally get mine sold.

looks like the redline fade paintjob. doesn't giant do the stp in a highlighter -> black fade?
i thought bmw did some streetwear (addict, recon, etc) collabos before pharrell bought in.
y'all are making me feel like my park bike is old and played..
i still like the way it rides.

brooklyn have always done collaboration. they did supreme and recon a long time before pharrel was involved.

i personally think the bike and the shoes look s**t, but i'm sure brooklyn had nothing to do with the paint?
