Scored an old Worksman

[Mike B]

Yeah Baby!

Step thru frame too.

Craig's List. Just when I was looking for a nice step through frame...

Brazed & Lugged.

They don't build them like this anymore -

Life is good.

mike , that's a cool old worksman , what kind of evil motorizing plans do you have in store for this jewel ..LOL

 

[Mike B]

Mu haa haa...

I got this ordered up and on the way.

80 cc, 3.3 HP @ 5500 Robin NOS 2 stroke.

 

[Mike B]

Well, I've been out tinkering on it and the fire breathing Robin is out.

This is the perfect bike for the Hongdu Solex.

 

[Mike B]

Went with white.

Also put a 5.5" crank and a 36 tooth front sprocket on it. The rear is 22 tooth, so this bike will be super easy to pedal.

Now, on to the Solex -

Nice! Feeling the white!

Why aren't you letting the Robin fly?

TiM

 

[Mike B]

The Robin needs a better bike.

This bike has a 5/16" front axle and a short space between the legs.

I am thinking new Worksman with a springer and front drum brake.

Goodday all, tell me where can I get my hands on a 3.3 hp/ 80 cc ?

Are the new Worksman's not as heavy duty? I know they still sell them directly from their factory in NY
