We don't understand fully how it happened, but people are wildin' out over there in England and somehow our distributor in the UK ended up losing his fingertip.

Double Pounder.
All weekend we've been trying to figure out what smelled like a giant drowned rat here inside the shop.
It turned out to be a giant drowned rat.
Crikey. Things are back to normal and the shop smells like roses again.

THE REAL BIG APPLE
If you like the big apple then its time to pedal out to Sheepshead Bay for the Big Apple turn over. The choice was tough, but this is the one that spoke to me. This is a whole cored apple that is wrapped in pie crust and baked as pie-turnover. Worth the ride, just pedal out to the end of

Yo, BKLYN fans. Thanks for checking out the new site and bearing with us as we get it up and running. We're still working on it to make it less daffy than the old one, so until we're at 100% some features will be under construction.
In the meanwhile you can call in your orders as usual. Check back for new content and updates as we add them. Email bmw@brooklynmachineworks.com for errors, comments, suggestions, or to share your best "yo momma so fat" joke.
Outside the office things have been cooking with downhill season in full swing, new truckloads of tubing being dropped off for your orders, rides to Coney Island, and people getting rad on their Brooklyns:

Downhill and BBQs.
We were up on the mountain this Memorial Day weekend checking out the action of the US open. Erik Hudson's in need of some bars after snapping his in his gorilla hands during qualifiers.
Congrats to all the racers!

Lawd bless these Dirt Jumps.
The boys at NYCMTB.com have launched a new website where you can find ride guides, updates on races, and all the chatter about bikes in the city, including tomorrows annual Blessing of the Bikes at St. John the Devine in Morningside heights:
Once riders get their bless on, they're only a few pedals away from the Highbridge trails, where the NYCMB crew will be busy digging trails. Come out, grab a shovel, and help shape up the park for another excellent summer of riding the only legal MTB trails in Manhattan.

Friday Night Lights
A few months ago one of us moved into a converted knitting factory closer to the shop. One of the rooms was filled with trash and and old fridge, and we found a better use for the space...

Southern Hemisphere Holla.
The good folks at Endless Trail Bikeworx shipped a pair of Brooklyn Racelinks to Costa Rica for a week of riding with Big Mountain Bike adventures.
"The trip was was filled with tight, super steep,fast, flowy trails with descents lasting up two hours. Our Racelinks ate it up with no problem as always! Everyone was amazed by the bikes, no one had ever scene one up close. Everyone we let try out the rigs were very impressed with the performance and handling of the bike."
Check out the ETBW Photo Gallery for more ride pics.

Fitty.
We're expanding our run of the XL 50cm Gangsta Track, the longest and tallest version of the Brooklyn fixed frame.
Stock colors are standard Black and Neon Orange which has been eye-searingly popular across Europe.

Sloveniapolis.
Of last month's SR orders, the most interesting destination was to Slovenia, where our friend Boris is decking out his SR with an Avalanche Chubie and new BOS N'Dee singlecrown fork.
We admittedly don't know much about the riding over there in Slovenia, but they have seaside towns like these, and with the NE weather being so tempermental as of late, we're springing for a plane ticket instead of a UPS label next time around.
Pictures from NAHBS have invaded the internet, here are a few that we pulled from the weekend in Indy:

Indy Weekend update.
The shop was all over the country this weekend with Joe, Darren, and Ken, and Maya visiting the NAHBS in Indiana and hitting up RAYS along the way.
Pics and ride report are coming, but since NYC got a nice dumping of snow, we'll turn our attention to Toff riding in England (and BKLN), where the ride conditions are actually better right now...
Our Backyard...(it was 53 degrees last week)
