The Worksman INB is just OK. Its a strong frame to be sure but their are issues. The angle of the front down tube makes for a very tight fit for even the Ciina motors, also the the front portion of where the rear wheel / tire lives is quite narrow. The Diamond electra 26X2.35 tires I bought Im sure will never fit properly.

I found a new bike with a vintage look, Macargi Huntington stretched beach cruiser, the bike has a high degree of quality and can be accesserized with a variety of vintage styled parts, you can see mine on this forum the thread is titled Ol' Blue-page # 6(1&2).
If you want a cruiser? this is a great bike, I ordered this bike from bikebuyers.com for $169.oo/shipping $39.oo no sales tax with their special(wich runs all the time) it was there in 2-days, 3-colors blk,grn,blu check it out go to my thread and see what you can do to one of these bikes

Well most of the reference's given are for vintage cruisers, off ebay, the huntington could make a good tracker as well, cut the cantelevers add a straight bar, Varsity stem, flip the bars and get a laid back seat post.
The bike is all ready stretched and if you take a good look at the bike it does have tracker potential

I can see it. You'd have to do a full custom tank or a keg style behind the seat post but sure , that could be made a BTR. Thinkin Monarch springer from Venice MB's and loose the fenders.

Beleive it or not Ivers Johnson made motorcycles too, Their look was kinda like a Merkel but with softer differences, the Macargi holds that look as well and would even sweet'n the pot more with some Monark springer forks but a nice thick tank would be scream'n wild!! and what the **** go all the way and put a looped down tube on it,ummmm maybe I'll do one of those next, I'm always giving myself good Ideas

That was my first bike: Tempus (1). You should see it near the end of that thread; it was a heavy bike but it rode like a blast! I had a plan to find somebody to make an in-frame tank for it, then one day on my way to work - WHAM! I get T-boned by a guy turning left who "didn't see" me, I find myself eating bad hospital food, and that bike is totaled.

Yep. The first Tempus is no more.

Year later: see "Scored a Higgins". This one will be my new ride, and she will be awesome. And she will be named Tempus, maybe Tempus II, just because I like the name and want to keep it.
