I've gotten one china girl build under my belt, and I've now rebuilt or replaced just about everything on the bike trying to keep her going. Fed up with the chinsy two strokes, and I'm wanting to get started into a boardtracker build off of a worksman newsboy frame that I've been able to source locally. I'm going to be going with the EZ Q-matic, and a 79cc predator engine (though the 212cc is getting my panties moist, might be tricky to mount).
I know that Worksman does sell the drop frame, and it might be necessary, HOWEVER I already have cheap and convenient access to the Stock Newsboy frame, and if there was a way to make it work, my life would be oh so much easier!!! Unfortunately I have zero experience with welding. I do consider myself an expert tinkerer, and I'm willing to bring it in to a local shop to get something custom done, but I'm not sure how I'd go about it, or what sort of pricepoint I would be looking at for frame modifications...
Long time lurker here, and first time posting... Will be providing pics along with build process over the next few days. Any advice is always helpful!!!
Cheers folks!

Might wanna go that route OR get a good Roadmaster frame; that MIGHT fit the 79/99 motors ( Mabey ) Search "ITS THE POPE " to see a little 98cc flathead in a INB frame. Still on the snug side.
