And how Crazy Horse. We have talked about this between ourselves and Workman may not want to have motors put on thier frames due to legal resposibility problems.
That said, they are also business people and I am sure are on the outlook for more business. If you want a frame that is made properly,is rugged and not junk and most of all, is made in America Workman is your only choice.

No they are not an under a $100 bike but by the time you swap out all the junk wheels and cranks ect. you are well on your way to the same money and your not getting that good Workman quality frame.
This won't make a lot of difference to the builder on a budget or the want to try it out first builder but when the time comes I do believe they will be glad the frames/bikes are available.

If your a dedicated track bike builder or you just want a frame that works for every motor do as Crazy Horse asks. Take a few minutes to register and tell Workman that there is a demand for a frame like that and mention the site and the fact we have 10,000 possible buyers. When you are bolting your motor in your bike you will be glad you did.

Steve.

Crazy Horse-- I'm kind of shocked that he will do it for 20 frames. Was sure it would be a 100 at least. I'm in. Do they want a deposit did he say or do we call a ask to be put on the list?
What a great thing this will be for builders and one off people like me.

Last time I welded it involved flashing light,people in uniform and a whole lot of heat.
I had to promise the Judge I would never weld again.

My guess would be if they were available they would sell since all we see is ,where can I get a frame like that.
Time to step up to the plate, builders.
The next thing is to have someone building the tanks.

Since Crazy Horse is good enough to spear head this I would like to point out that he and I discussed this and I was working on the theory that Workman was not going to move for less than a 100 bike/frame min.
Now it seems they would consider it for 20-30 units. Having to have parts made when I owned my own business this is a gift.
We should consider this. Every bike builder who has posted on this forum about the poor quality frames that we have to use, now is the time to be counted.
A high quality frame, made it America and Crazy Horse is putting it together for us. Now is the time to stand up and make your self known.

Crazy Horse--If Workman says yes we'll be trampled in the stampeed to get one. They will be the people who won't do anything until the frames are available.

Joe-- myself I'm in for the whole bike. I don't see any reason, at least in my case, to mix and match parts. It seem the Workman wheels are a bit of a gold standard and thier engineering saves me the problem of trying to build a better bike.

I want an, add a motor and side car and let the road stretch on forever.

Hey Crazy Horse, with out 11.5 inches of clearance, this bike will be doomed to the 2-stroke, which the Government is currently looking to eliminate.
Contact me if you like, BUT if no provision is made for the 4-stroke it could be a dead end?

Mike
