    Widest tire on Worksman

    Slowly collecting parts for an INB frame I bought from Chuck...and am wondering whats the biggest tire anyone has put on a Worksman. Seems like the Fat Franks are the way to go. Any other choices out there?

    1941 OCC Schwinn DX Hybrid "Generation Gap"

    That came out REALLY nice! I bought two of those OCC's at a yard sale for my kids...they're about to outgrow them. So I'll be stripping them for parts...what did you have to do to get the forks to fit? I looked at them and there is some type of clamp that holds the top piece to the neck piece...?
