Hello friends,

Just ordered a Worksman Bicycle! Industrial LGB Model, it so kick XXX, it will be black, with wide seat, red rims, front drum break, and rear 3 speed coaster break. A dream bike!!!

ive been around the board for some time now. Actually im not sure how I discovered motor bicycles, but im in love .

Since then ive been planning a bicycle, first thinking of a cheap bike. But after i saw an antique Bicycle club i fell in love with the "cycle truck"s they had!

Some time ago i went to Barcelona, were they have a public bicycle system and the bikes have big wheel in the back and small wheel in front, since then my quest was to buy a cheap bike and put a small wheel in front no matter what!...but then i saw the old "Cycle trucks" and understood how it was posible to have small and big wheel in one bike.

well, i went around asking for cycle trucks, and some guy told me he could sell me one....for 1,500 dollars....an old bike!! what the heck!!!!!!!
Kept on searching and those old bikes are super expensive!! i guess they do have a historical value, but im not into a bike because of the old times, im in it to use and abuse! :devilish:

looking around i found like 2 or 3 makers of the "cycle truck" style, and the Worksman seems very well build, and within a price i could pay, not cheap, but you pay for what you get.


Im so excited!!! its gonna be a long wait! :helmet: but im very happy with my puchase! =-) just wanted to share my happyness!!!

That's cool. It is exciting, isn't it, when you place that order for something you've been wanting. Now you gotta wait a bit. And that isn't so easy either.

But it'll be worth it. And the worksmans look like fine machinery.
 
I always liked cycletrucks

I had to go to the workman site to see your bike....pretty cool.

Cool !

Echotraveler,
I'd be excited too waiting for a Worksman bike ... super cool! I've never seen one "in person" but have drooled over their ad pictures for a long time. I hope you'll be posting pic's and reporting on what it's like.

Have you got a motor in mind?

Envious in Michigan,
 
I ordered my worksman bicycle on 01/05/09. It was the INB
20" straight bar frame, with front and rear drum brakes, low rise
handle bars with 11" stem, deluxe sealed crank set with 44T sprocket'
saddle is 13" extra-wide with springs. I recieved it last night 02/05/09.
It came completly assembled except for seat, handle bars, stem, peddles,
and reflectors. This is one impressive bicycle. Shipping was through Bax
Shencker- that accepts oversize boxes and no limited shipping weight.
A lot more forgiving than UPS shipping. Your wait will be well worth it for
the LBG model.
 
Sears Motorcycle

Sorry to get a bit off topic,

But is that an old Yamaha XS 750 you're riding in your avatar, MikeM?

Sweet bikes.

BGW,
The bike in my avatar is a 1960's (mid to late 60's I think) Sears motorcycle. I believe it was actually made by Garrelli. It was a 4-speed, 4-stroke, 106-cc ... sounded like a little Harley. Very nice little bike once you got used to the European style brake/shift arrangement. Something about it made people look and wave when I'd go by ... had lots of fun on it before selling it some years ago.

Thanks for asking ... good memories ... sorry if I rambled on in Echotraveler's Worksman bike thread. Hope he posts more pics soon.
 
does your workman come decked out with the basket?

I don't know if it's safe....lol, but I'm riding it, anyway!!!!

hheheheeh:D i would too!:helmet:
