7.24.00: New Brooklyn Site is launched.

Welcome to the new on-line face of Brooklyn Machine Works. We've added some new sections, new photos, and new video clips. This facelift also marks some changes in focus at the machine works. We started this shop making 20" frames, cruisers, rim brakes, and various bmx accessories. As we experimented with bigger and stronger bikes (20" bmx to full-suspension bmx to the supertrucker...) our focus moved more towards the big bikes of downhill. Looking over our old site, we realized that it no longer reflected our main focus. We were getting tons of calls for products we just weren't making anymore.

Consequently, we shifted some things around, most notably our bike page. We still carry cruiser frames, but we have stoped making our burly 20"ers. No, we're not turning our back on bmx, in fact we're currently assembling some of our full suspension bmx bikes that were put on hold during TMX development. Look for those in the near future.

The biggest change we've made is the amped up production on the TMX. The culmination of several years of design work, the TMX is the most recent step in Brooklyn's evolution towards creating the ultimate downhill bike. If you have yet to see the TMX, check it out. It's awesome.

We have also increased production on our 26/24 Park Bike. A cross between dual-slalom, trials, and general urban assault, the Park Bike was developed and torture tested in Central Park and on the streets of NYC. It will handle anything you can throw at it (or anything you throw it down). We've also added a couple new parts to our line of machined-aluminum bike products. Check them out.

We hope you enjoy the new site. It's 90% complete, there are a just a few more things we're working one. One is the evolution section, which will feature some of our previous design work, as well as some of the cutting edge prototypes (think motorcycles forks).

The other soon-to-be feature will be the addition of on-line order processing via credit card. This has been a much needed addition to the shop and will make ordering parts and frames much easier for everyone, especially those of you overseas.

Again, we hope you enjoy the new site. Welcome to Brooklyn.
