[irideiam]

Looks way meaner now...

Ya, early mountain bike look....it's crazy what a simple tire change and bars will do.....

Here is one I built awhile back. A Worksman Sportsman Flyer.

Here is my entry into the 10th Build Off. Just another motorized Worksman I call The Screaming Rabbit.

Came across some interesting old marketing material:

Back in the days of Carlisle tires, Tange forks, and Union pedals.


Have pages for 3 Wheelers, Tandems, & folding bikes as well.

@Mark Sr. that's awesome! thanks for the scan!! I love that they were seemingly trying to cash in on some sort of klunker/early mtb thing with the dual-drum "Downhill Cruiser"

My guess is that the "M" in MDC stood for "Maui". I believe that is the bike used for years to bring tourists down the Haleakala Crater in Maui. You are on the brakes the whole way down.

Oh yeah.... i remember seeing the ads about those. I think that fleet is still in use out in Hawaii....

These Worksman's are really growing on me.. I built one on the website the other day, I just can't get into buying a new bike, I've only ever bought one new one and I'll never do it again. Someday I'll build one.

Hit up RRB member @ind-chuckz .... he always seems to have framesets available.

Picked up a nice M2600 survivor today with the horizontal rear dropouts and Akisu fork:

It has a stem I had not seen before, has "LU" stamped on the two top clamps:

The only thing I found so far like it is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Double-Clam...501306?hash=item1c5e05793a:g:nQIAAOSw14xWQPIr

Nothing other than LU and insertion limit stamped on the tube.

That's a really nice old Worksman you got, @Mark Sr. . Incredibly clean. I've never seen a stem like that before, either. Nice score. I assume you don't plan to change much on that one?
