Wanted: Original brooklyn gangsta track fork

hey guys,
been searching for the original gangsta track fork for a while now, i've emailed tfg and brooklyn to no avail at all. anyone got one for sale?
cheers,
joe

don't think it would suit your Bridgestone

not for the bridgestone doooooood.

brooklyn are really shoddy with their emails now, i've emailed their uk and us email addresses and called them up with no reply/answer

yeah someone did tell me that and they were right, emailed them months ago with no reply.

Is it for the unicycle?

Same, Im after some stuff for mine and they just do not get back to you.
Tokyo said they are even awful with them too!

have a guess

1+

they're terrible at it.

Try Chari n Co in NYC. They seem to have a good relationship with them.
Plus they are just over the water too

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to have a gangsta.

can't wait to own one, hopefully it all works out.

Did you track down a fork?
Im guessing you've already got a frame!

still trying to track down the fork, i don't actually have the frame yet but i reckon it will be in my possession soon. the frame is nothing without the original fork though.

Honestly, the clusterfork is stronger, lighter, stiffer and flex less than the original however ugly it is.

Or even just go for a carbon one.

the clusterfork is definitely an option and i reckon i'l purchase it along with the frame, i just much prefer the original fork.

Understandable, I felt the same as well, but after a while trying to chase those pillocks at BMW, I feel the fork is perfectly fine.

The only thing didn't liked is how stiff it is, but that changed once I swapped the stupidly skinny 23c tyres for a nice and fast 28c one.

i'm used to riding ishiwata tubing around which is pretty damn stiff but i will also be using bigger tyres. quite excited, never ridden on anything bigger than 23c before!

this guy rides his brooklyn with a easton cyclocross fork, looks pretty good

it does indeed. bit spendy though and if i'm going to spend then i'd much rather do it on the OG fork.

You'll be in for a pleasant surprised after putting in some lightweight 28c or even 32c tyres on.

what do you recommend? i was thinking marathon plus or vittoria randonneur but i know both of those are heavy as fuck, especially the marathons.

They're both ridiculously heavy, the Bontrager is pretty light for a 28c tyres (as well as the Gatorskin).

it's possible to get a really light 32c at 280g, but that have no puncture protection.

I haven't found the original fork flex but then again I just ride it. Not chuck it down stairs n what not!

il probably go with something like a gatorskin, i trust gatorskins.

i won't be doing anything like that either apart from the odd curb here and there.
