Finally it's time for an update on my progress on my bike which is inspired by the Dutchmaster. Current parts: Frame - Worksman INB frame (ground off chain guard tabs) Headset - Worksman standard/OEM Fork - Worksman balloon fork Rims - Sun Ringle - Equalizer 31 rims (Black, 36 hole) Tyres -...

Luke - thanks, but don't think I understand - could you please clarify/elaborate?

Thanks us56456712 Bicycle808 - got any advise based on the lacing based on the photos I posted?

Thanks! here are a few photos. In these photos one side is fully laced and the other has the offending spokes removed as they couldn't reach their respective spoke holes - perhaps you could see an error in my lacing approach?

Bicycle 808 - I bought DT Swiss Competition 2.0/1.8 x 252mm silver spokes - http://www.bikewagon.com/dt-swiss-competition-2-0-1-8-x-252mm-silver-spokes#90516 I had a go at lacing the rear (Sturmey Archer x-rd) to the rim (Sun EQ31). I followed this video on YouTube - Things went ok until...

Thanks Mike G - after reading your post I tried again, this time with no regards to the noise I was generating for my neighbours! Job done after some persistence. I assume the same 'knock-out' approach is valid for the Worksman headset cups? as I need to remove them before I get a respray job...

Thanks Luke for the image repost. Bicycle808 and Mike G - got any advise on my previous post regarding the BB install and the 'cups' removal?

Thanks Bicycle 808 - great detail as usual. Finally my frame has arrived. And of course I have a question there are some silver 'cups' in the bottom bracket tube. Do these stay? Or do I try and knock them out? A quick attempt at knocking them out with a screwdriver and mallet was not...

Villageidiot thanks for the offer - will let you know. Here is how far I've come so far: 1. Worksman frame, ballon fork and headset. Arrived in my country but yet to be delivered. 2. Sunday Saker 175mm crankset (19mm spindle). Set came with American BB. Got from eBay. 3. Fbm "rise above" bmx...

So after getting my Amazon cart all filled up I notice that due to the number of sellers it's split into 9 shipments which is translating into big dollar shipping costs - crazy high. I've been following a few leads and found that bikewagon.com has the majority of the parts I want, and their...

Regarding the cranks - I've found the ones suggested do not ship to my country. Any suggestions of which would work with the suggested BB from profile racing? or alternatively one from profile racing that includes a BB?

So seems I'm better off with the single speed version... Do you know where I can source that? Only see 7 speed version on Amazon If I have no choice but to get a 7 speed, I assume if need to ask Worksman to spread the frame to support it? If so - it would need to go from 110mm to ....?

Bicycle808 - awesome response. Really appreciate you giving the time. I'll work through it tonight. But one burning question - is the standard 110mm spacing between the worksman dropouts ok for the sturmey archer x-rd? Be it 7 or single?

Thanks for the great reply again - starting to realize I'm a bit out of my depth here (first time bike builder)... so i've decided to go with the stock Worksman fork and headset for now. Appreciate if you could help with the following: 1. Saddle, Post, Clamp - I would like to run the Brooks...

Mike G and Bicycle808 - fantastic replies!. Now weighing up getting stock worksman fork versus the conversion approach. Does the stock fork support drum brakes mounting? I'm thinking sturmey archer x-fd. Is there anything you can tell me regarding dimension requirements and considerations for...

Mike G and others - I came across this post as I'm essentially attempting a similar kinda 'clone' of the core 77 Dutchmaster. I've ordered the Worksman Newsboy frame - and was planning to get a Surly 1x1 1 1/8 threadless fork, but I've been seeing some signs online that this may not be possible...
