I knew this forum would like this photo. Great responses . I have this as my backround and get a big grin every time I see it. Might be fun to have a caption contest for this photo. Add those cartoon clouds with what the people are saying or thinking, vote on the funniest one. Could bring great...

OK thanks Ethan. I have been looking at many photos of Worksman with engines and see several with more extreme angles on the carb than mine. When you say nt carb - is that the name of the carb I shuold look for? Are there several types? Thanks for the help. I think I am going try with the carb...

Thanks guys for the advice. I dont have a welder (but it is on the wish list) I think changing the pipe would be the best. I think I have the motor in a good position as far as the chain is concerned. I dont think I would have room for permanent brackets as the Worksman frames are very tight for...

Thanks - thats what I thought. Guess now I have to reposition the engine. ARRGHHHH :cry:

My first motorized build. I am using a Worksman bike. Here is where I am at right now. Before I go further I need to know if things look OK so far. Question: Is the angle the carb. is on OK??? I thought I read somewhere the carb. needs to be level. I enclosed some photos. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Speed Master - sister bike on CL Did I post the correct address? The red bike with the front fender exactly like the Speed Master I bought and skip tooth???? The guy was also selling a blue schwinn- I will go back and check

Re: Speed Master - sister bike on CL If anyone is interested look at my post in the Craigs List forum. The guy is selling the sister bike to this boys Speed Master. I am assuming it is the same age from 1942. Skiptooth is in very nice shape, definately not ridden as hard as the boys. Can bet...

Re: Speed Master ????? serial # Im on the fence right now about selling it. It is my oldest bike now and my only lite weight BUT I have no room left. I will let you know - I want to clean her up first ( I think my favorite part is taking them apart and cleaning them up - call me strange :? ) I...

Re: Speed Master ????? serial # Thanks so much to rms37 for all of the detailed info. That makes this the oldest bike I own. Question: If the oxalic acid is a bad idea for the paint - what is the best way to approach the cleanup ???? Thanks again

Re: Speed Master ????? serial # I think I will try one of the fenders in oxalic acid this weekend and see what happens. Underneath the brown dirt and rust coating there is a nice dark maroon color with plenty of patina that I would like to bring out. The wheels rust coating are hiding white...

Re: Speed Master ????? serial # Thanks for all the help so far. And to think I almost left this bike. I went there to buy a Columbia straight bar cruiser. When I saw the Speed Master and the skip tooth I thought I should try to do a package deal. I made an offer which I did not expect to be...

Serial number beginning with a "A" followed by five digits? Yes !! Serial # found underneath bottom bracket is A04410 Can anyone help me with an approx. year for this bike?? Think handle bars are original to the bike??? Thanks
