Worksman newsboy on ebay

silverbear · Mar 25, 2010

There's a nice worksman newsboy in good condition, black, in the LaCrosse,, Wisconsin area up for bids on ebay: Item number: 270552925200. Bidding starts at $145.00 and shipping is steep, but if you live in that part of the world and could pick it up yourself it could be a great board tracker build.

Even if a person has no interest in trying to make one into a board tracker it is the single best bet for a motor out there, in my opinion. The wheels alone are awesome, frame is solid, design is A1. I notice it doesn't have the front drum brake, but it is easy enough to set up a front caliper brake. I did that on my Worksman using a BMX caliper. Unless you're going for land speed records that should be good enough along with Worksman's coaster brake. If you bid on it I hope you win!
