    my Worksman as it is now.

    I picked up a rear Worksman wheel and tire yesterday. Wow that is a heavy duty rim. I kinda dig how it looks right now with the rat trap springer and the 26x1 3/8 front tire. Need to get that seat post out of there and decide if I want to use my banana seat or a laid back seat post with the...

    Would like some opinions

    This is my Onyx Genesis. When I bought it a couple years ago I wanted a bike like this. With the apes and the banana seat, but after riding it a couple seasons I'm feeling the bike itself is too big for this style. I was thinking making my newly acquired Worksman to look kinda like the board...

    Tire and 3 speed hub question.

    I got an old Murry Phoenix 3 bike with the 3 speed hub. I was hoping to use that rim for my Worksman bike, but I found out it looks like there's no wider tires that fit that rim. It has the 26x1.375. So my first question, is there a wider tire, in the 2 and quarter range, that would fit that...

    Got some new rides.

    Ok I went to the Ogden Bike Collective for their fall sale. picked up a Worksman Cycle frame for 10 bucks. I put my rat trap springer fork on, and the rear tire is a mountain bike front just to get an idea of sizing. So after I got that I went to my dad's neighbor who collects bike looking...

    Need some guidance.

    I have gotten my Flightliner tore down. Basic goal is to loosely copy the Drag King since it the same frame. And I just tore down an old BMX that I want to restore. But since I never done this before, I am a little stumped what to do next. I know all the bearings will have to be replaced. But...

    Banana question?

    I have been looking for a banana seat for my Onyx. Found this one that looks good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H6PJ238/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3B8WYRETUGUKO But for the sissy bar, the shortest I found is a 24 inch. I would like to find one like this. Is there a...

    Opinion: banana seat

    Here's my Onyx as it sits now: I'm thinking I want a low sitting banana seat. What cha'll think? I'm seriously on the fence about it. And none of the bike shops around here has any in stock for me to test see. Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk 2

    Got some Wald 8069 bars.

    I ordered some Wald 8069 bars for my Onyx on Saturday. Came today. I think they look pretty good. They're very comfortable. And not too tall. Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk 2

    Opinions on handlebars

    I wanted to get ape hangers for my Onyx but thought I'd try somethings first and would like opinions. Here's the stock bars. Then I thought maybe flip them. And this is a straight piece of pipe. So out of them three, are any better looking than apes would be? Or any other ideas...

    OD Onyx

    Just got done painting the frame of my Onyx Genesis OD green. See: Opinions though. Should I keep the handle bars black or go green with them as well? And does the gloss black rims stand out too much? I painted the fenders and the chain guard flat black.

    Want to paint my rims?

    I have an Onyx Genesis. I want to paint the frame flat black and the rims flat, military green. But I'm a bit scared to tear apart my rims to paint them. I've never laced up and trued a wheel before. So how hard is it to do really? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, keep my 65 VW on the road. But...

    Ape hangers on Onyx?

    I would like to get a set of ape hangers for my Onyx cruiser. But the problem is none of the bike shops around here have any apes on hand. But I don't want to just randomly buy a set on line without having them in my hands. So any suggestions? Maybe from anyone with an Onyx and apes? I'm fairly...
