About the original
The Brooklyn Machine Works 24" BMX Cruiser is a hand-built 4130 chromoly-steel cruiser with a 24-inch wheelbase, single-speed drivetrain, and the heavy-gauge tubing and overbuilt dropouts Brooklyn Machine Works became known for. The shop was founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1996 by Joe Avedisian and Doc DeLorenzo and built each frame by hand inside the borough, supplying downhill and dirt-jump riders with freestyle-grade chromoly long before mass-produced 24-inch cruisers existed. Only 36 of the SS1998 Supreme collab edition were produced, gifted to senior store employees across New York, Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, making it one of Supreme's earliest and rarest collaborations. Examples have sold at auction for upward of $50,000.
