Brooklyn Machine Works Big Ben

[stauqmuk]

For this one I went all out. I've wanted a BMW since I first saw a TMX smashing through the park in '99 or '00 so now that I was ready to order I spent days and weeks planning out every inch and no expense was sparred. As soon as I got the frame I handed it over to a long time friend and noted artist JEDI for some paint. Now with the frame back and all the parts assembled the bike has taken shape.

Wow, just simply Wow. :shock:

Love the hand painted logo and the paint job as a whole is sick!
Is this frame bombproof heavy or chuck-around light? (or a perfect balance of both of course? )

Great colours

Yes very nice paintjob indeed, loving those graffiti-straightletters. Reminds me about New york subway cars from the eighties

Very cool! Love the Hammerschmidt touch.

Wow - that's all kinds of cool!

Is that a carbon wrap you've got around the shivers?
