First Build Underway

What do you estimate the total length from outside rubber to outside rubber will be?


sorry I am a bit lost, what do you mean?
 
oh right haha. I extended the standard worksman frame by 4inches and will be running 26x2.3 tyres. I'm not sure where to start guessing sorry.

I may not be running worksman wheels too. I called them up ad was told that my order had to be over $1000 for them to ship them internationally
 
Just google Worksman Wheels. There are a few places you can buy them other than the Worksman factory. I got mine from a tool outlet myself.
 
the worksman factory is the only shop willing to ship internationally, but with a catch. I wonder how some heavy duty downhill bicycle wheels would fair
 
The Worksman wheels have the look you are after. The 11 guage spokes have the strength you need. If you want I can get you some and ship it internationally to you. They would already be boxed up so it would be a strait forward. Let me know.
 
How much roughly are a set of worksman rims? I would like a set so if it helps to send 2 sets and share the shipping costs, then you could send me on my wheels....... just thinking.... but it may be more trouble then its worth.

Whitey are you going to run Simplex tyres? If so they had them in stock at a Vintage Tyre place (the name has slipped my mind but i could find out) in Australia and i think they were around $130 a tyre delivered.
 
$130 a tyre delivered. Wow! that is a great price. I have been following some on Ebay which are $130 plus $95 shipping. Please let me know of the name when you remember. I would like to not have to worry about my tyres failing on me, it has happened before.

That could work out well Harry. I would be willing to go to the trouble. I will Ask Worksman if the $1000 limit includes the shipping
 
Dont forget that is it is over $1000 the tax man will want a big lump as well
G.S.T. inport duty and it will ad up. all the best Keithpino.
 
the tax man only charges you if the item itself is worth over $1000. I am hoping that Worksman will ship if the total of the item and shipping is $1000, not just the item

Today I got allot of work done on the bike, the drivetrain is all sorted and lined up. The flanged bearings worked a treat for the CVT and it sure helps having the milling machine.

Today was my last day in the school's workshop. So my build was supposed to be completely finished minus having a wheelset for it. I will say that I got very close. The engine is mounted the driveline is all setup and perfectly aligned. The only step left is finding the perfect place for me to put my feet. After looking thoroughly at all the possible loop holes in the law, in order to get the bike registered, it turns out that it just can't. Pedals don't make any difference so I have decided to just use footpegs, attached to the bottom of the chainstays. I will upload some pics soon
 
been a while since my last update and sadly nothing has happened with the build since. I am thinking of getting it back on track soon and am going to start paint. I have gotten the frame sandblasted and will be priming the frame tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has any sticker knowledge. I have looked at the different types, but can't decide what to get. I am after an indian decal.
 
Good to hear you are still on this project, I was just thinking of it the other night.

What sort of a sticker do you want? You can buy the original style sticker off eBay or maybe a later one like brett777 used on his (build thread on here) and it looks really nice. Is that what you were asking?
 
there are different types.

WATER-SLIDE

DRY TRANSFER

they both have their pros and cons, but I am not sure which people prefer
 
I like the waterslide type. They are more fussy to apply, but are what would have been used back when. I bought mine on ebay, NOS 1940's Indian black script... just the word Indian. I have it on the back of my canoe sidecar.
