RRB member Sportscarpat has been making those for awhile. I guess Worksman is planning on getting in on the action and selling the rolling chassis?

Looks like it, I remember seeing his boardtracker around the site before but never made the connection they were the same until now. Was his based off a modified =W= frame?

 

[Bicycle808]

Yep. Check out the sportsman flyer page; it says

The frames utilize the industrial Worksman INB rear triangle and the Sportsman Flyer classic stretch and loop lugged front frame section.

And the Worksman link you posted says

Worksman Flyer "Cruiser" by Sportsman Flyer

Weird thing is, the Worksman site is sellin'm for 1/2 price so....I wonder how that's working out. Perhaps they licensed the name/design from Pat but they're handling the fabrication in-house?

Hmmm....my wife is starting to look like that frame a bit. Maybe they should call it the grey lady. Gary

I know what she is going to call you after she seen your post!
Dead man!

Seeing this frame makes me want to build a motorized bike!

WOW great to see that Pat has made it so big. He has been doing top quality motorized bike parts for many years.

Hi Guys,
A little history. My first stretch and loop frames were based off the Worksman Industrial Newsboy rear frame triangle. I built the frame forward into my stretch and loop design. I moved on to full custom frames and bikes while keeping the same basic geometry. The new "Worksman Sportsman Flyer" bicycles being sold by Worksman are a joint project between our two companies. Worksman supplies the rear frame triangle and lugged steer tube to me. I then build the frames forward using my stretch and loop geometry, and return the frames to Worksman to be built out into bicycles. Bicycle components are pulled from the Worksman parts bins, including the wheels, and options include both Worksman and Sportsman components. Bicycles are available as a cruiser or boardie model.
I am just starting to offer motor mount kits and all my current parts like gas tanks fit these frames perfectly. I would post some pictures but need to figure out the new format here at Ratrods. Build it as a bicycle or motorbike!

Lucky for me she don't frequent this forum. Now if I posted that on the Giant Schnauzer forum, I'd be in trouble. Gary

I just discovered a pedal bicycle line added to Pats' site ; http://sportsmanflyer.com/product-category/bicycles/

I like those! Nice forks on the $999 and $1200 ones. Engine ready frames too!
And or you can get them race ready for a lot more! These are cool!
