I never responded, to your donor bike question
I got the Husky but have been informed the Worksman's rear section is more
close to the 1909ish frame design. Considering one isn't using a whole lot of the frame, it could be argued they aren't worth it, I mean the whole front section has to be cut away, I didn't cut away my top bar but will with the next project. However, the heavy duty wheels are appreciated...I am no lightweight at 220.
So, I am trying to find a USED worksman for my next project (just missed out on a 100 used one locally), although I think just about any frame will probably do. Duece custom bicycles http://www.deucemotorbicycles.com/
uses worksman's as his bases and they look great but he is also cutting away the whole front section in order to lengthen the bike six inches. I'm darn partial to his blue Indian and am considering buying one, I mean it has a darn lot of nice work in it and comes ready for engine installation.
Hi Hoodoo. Been following your build since the thread describing it as a museum repro display. Very cool IMO.Looking forward to see it done. I've been considering the Husky 105 for a 4 cycle build and also looking at the larger Worksmans. Your thoughts please sir on the quality of materials and workmanship of your donor bike. Thank you!
