About the original
Brooklyn Machine Works was founded in 1997 by Joe Avedisian and Chris 'Doc' Bourdreaux as a hand-built steel bicycle shop in Brooklyn, New York. The Park Bike is their dirt jumping and urban hardtail, built from True Temper Supertherm 4130 chromoly with horizontal dropouts and a BMX-style bottom bracket. Frame geometry runs a 66-degree head tube, 70-degree seat tube, 22.5-inch top tube, and a 46-inch wheelbase, with CNC-machined disc brake adjusters and reinforcing head tube gussets. The current V4 frame retails for $800 through Brooklyn Machine Works directly. The Supreme version uses the same hand-built steel frame with Supreme branding and is spec'd as a complete build.
