I hear ya; looks to me like they're going for the younger/"urban" market. I'm actually pretty stoked about the all-straight tubes; that's a new one for Worksman 2-wheelers.
The stem has me upset because (a) I feel like Worksman and Wald have a nice relationship, and I feel certain that Wald relies on OEM deals like they have (had?) with worksman and (b) b/c that looks like a 1.125" headtube set-up. There are few set-ups that offend me more.
Where'd you find that picture? I'd like to read more about that thing.

They make some of the best handlebars and stems out there, and most all the components on my worksman are wald 8)

YOUR Worksman? Looks like the bars and stem, probably/possibly the BB; the headsets are Wald but they use their own Worksman specific cups (and all the new Wald headsets use YST topnuts, even if you get a complete set from Wald!). Oh, and of course, the rear baskets! I love your bike; the charger paintjob is awesome.
I am really happy with Worksman in general, but I wish they'd use more Wald stuff. I much prefer the Wald balloon fenders to the shorties that Worksman uses, although I am pretty sure that Worksman rolls their own fenders in NYC, so that's laudable. I get it that Wald quit making cranks and pedals, but they could at least put the cheap, stamped, $5 wald sprockets on, instead of the Taiwan sprockets. Also, Wald makes the greatest readily available coaster brake strap on the market; the loosie-goosie one that new INBs ship with needs to go.
I'm in the midst of building up my lgb/truck, and I'm using as much Wald stuff as I can. Headset, stem, bars, baskets front/rear, CB strap, fenders (I tracked mdown a NOS 20" Wald 962 front fender), sprocket, BB, I even got me a vintage Wald crankset with the weird raised center ridge on the crankarms. A shame they only make 1" and 13/16" seatposts (with an available shim for use in a 7/8" frame), or I'd be running one of those, too. Super-stoked to get my frame back from my sign guy, so I can send everything off to be powdered......

Ya know, I don't. It's hard to find them in good nick for a nice price. I'm definitely on the lookout for them, though.
