Brooklyn Parkbike

[Mr. Charles]

any of you have any experience with it?

how about the Endless?



which would you get?

[FreaK]

The endless is actually cheaper I think. So since the two are both well up there as far as quality bruisers I'd go with the 'cheaper' one. Unfortunately I don't have any personal experience with either. the Parkbike is a little more bmx I think, as in the design is more in the direction of stiffness, while the Lifetime is more in the dirrection of ride, ie: slightly more flex in the tubes. If it's what you want the latest Parkbikes seem to be of a much higher {than the older iterations} quality all around.

rossco has a friend who LOVED it to bits. but it has recently been stolen :(

[Shmoe]

The endless is similar to a parkbike, just with better tubing (I think:???: ), a way better warentee (BMW warentee takes ages I hear). Plus marshall at endless bikes is an awesome guy to deal with. Id take the endless anyday.

[Mr. Charles]

the brooklyn is beefier i think. i like that for grinds and dent resistance.

it also has a BMX BB shell. i like that, too.

[Shmoe]

Both very nice frames for sure..

Brooklyn is 6.2lbs, endless is 5.8. I cant find what tubing the Brooklyn is made of so its hard to say how much better then cro-moly is? (or is it worse?). Geometry is about the same.. I prefer Euro shell personally (lighter.. more guide options). The brooklyn has a wiating list, I know that. Endless is just finishing a run of frames now, I really dont know how long a new one is going to be.. AIM endlessbikes , its marshall.. hell help you out with some questions:)

The Brooklyn Park Bike is 4130 Cromoly. Call Go-Ride, they may have one in stock.

[Mr. Charles]

they are in stock direct.

at unreal:
endless
-lifetime $725usd

bmw
-parkbike $750usd

thought the bmw was like 850, meh if you're grinding go bmw, the disc mount is replaceable too, but aluminium. They're both sexy and being lighter I personnally could get away with the lifetime, even grinding, methinks. Actually I think the reaer ends are about equivalent it's just the front end of the lifetime that has butted reynolds(or columbus?) tubes for some ride niceness and the weight difference would be there I suspect, esspecially since the dropouts on the endless are larger. Another option might be the subteranean, it's the same sorta deal but even more low profile and brazed rather than TIGed. Ben might be able to get you in touch, the guy is in washington.

[Mr. Charles]

Tru-Temper Versus.

i love the subteranean (sp?). i forgot aboput that. i'll have to look into that.


now that i think about it, are they out of business?

[Mr. Charles]

i cant find a link to subterranean.

help?

[Cheese]

Why the heck are you selling your tankass?

[FreaK]

ya, but it's verus, not versus

there isn't a link for subteranean, ie no website, that's why I said maybe ben could get you in touch. They can't really be out of buisness as they aren't really inbuisness, it's just a guy who builds frames and he's given them a name.
