Lock a bike to a light post and see it disappear piece by piece. :lol:

If you could rent or borrow a bike and ride in Central Park, that would be nice.

Maybe Worksman has factory tours.

^^ I was wondering same thing. Didn't see any mention of it on their website.

I saw a longer video about the guy a few years ago but can't seem to find it now. They showed him going through the process of fitting a bike to someone. He gets all of your measurements and builds the bike based on you.. I just hope for his sake he purchased some tube bending equipment.

bikes he build looks a little too bouncy for my liking

Worksman does have factory tours. I haven't been for one yet but I was invited.

Call the 800 number and they can tell you when you can tour the plant. It is in Queens.
