Sportsman Pedal Power Boardie

[sportscarpat]

Hi guys,
I've been building a lot of bikes lately, all with motors. Some of my frames are entirely from scratch, others use parts from the Worksman INB. This bike gets no motor, and uses the Worksman INB rear triangle as a starting point. The frame is built from steel tubes and uses Worksman lug sections and brazing to tie it all together. Fork is a Felt converted to 1" threaded steer tube.

Still need to lace up the wheels. I was thinking a Worksman front drum, Strumey two speed kick back with coaster brake, and aluminum rims with stainless spokes. Wheels get expensive, but otherwise I plan to keep this a pretty low buck build. Might not paint it or cover the seat.

This is cool! I built a set of 700c wheels using Sturmey's 2 speed kickback and drum front hub and it cost me about $250 for everything. Wheels get real expensive when you custom build them.

Looks good Pat! Just use some motorcycle rims and tires like on your Bonneville Flyers and I'm waiting for someone who doesn't know who you are to come on and say you should motorized it.

Figured I would build up a cruiser version while I was at it.
