Worksman Tall Cruiser in progress

aaronius · #1 10-26-2008, 10:11 PM

I've run it around the block several times and realized the spoke sandwich was just not happening. I've ordered a Grubee HD fixed hub and drum braketo remedy the situation. The rear rim will match the front, black spokes and all. the sram drum front hub is wired through a pig bmx headset. Specialized 3 piece cranks. niterider headlight, thermoplastic planet bike fenders and Nirve treads. This is my first motored bike.
I'm 6'3 and needed a bigger frame. this 20" worksman has fit the bill. This bike was a hog to pedal. But it's found it's second life now under the power of this 70 cc engine.
I originally had it configured with a nexus 8 speed rear hub, but that will be going to another project now.

Looks like that came along quite nicely! I'm a true Worksman fan. They are built a bit heavy but built strong. That bike should outlast your engine for sure.

My front drum brake wheel on my mo-bike came off of a Workman trike. It will stop a train. Your Workman looks great.

thanks for the shout guys! I've been scouring the forum the past few days and now I'm having big ideas... dellorto carb, shift kit so i can use my nexus hub, i think I'm addicted guys. is there a forum to help me when it' time to recover from this hobby? is there a 'motorbikers anonymous' so to speak? or have i already found it? LOL...

Just filled out an order form to see what it would cost to buy one with all the stuff I want, it comes out to $660.99. Its a lot but I guess its worth it for a strong nice dependable bike,

I'm thinking the frame would fair pretty well in an auto collision

It is the most solid bike i've ridden by far.

maybe you could just buy a frame? I found mine on ebay.
