The Sportsman started as a worksman m2600 frame used in some factory or something. I came up with the plan to build sort of a throwback to an 80s bmx. I don't really have a stockpile of parts so I used parts that are readily available to most of us, but remind me of what was cool back in the day. I feel the name fits, it's like if worksman decided to build a bmx inspired bike for dad to ride around with jr.
Here's the build

That is cool! Neato!

I know, isn't it a great feeling building such a great ride you don't want to part with it! You know must of done it right. :thumbsup:
 
One of my favorites! Straight up klunkericious! Well done....:41:
 
Love the lines of that frame.

Very nice! Is that frame larger/taller than a standard cruiser frame?
 
the top tube is a little higher than a standard worksman inb at the seat, but that's about it. everything else is in the same location.
