    Thread find help...

    Yep those are in fact the pics I was thinking of... No wonder I couldn't find them in the "How To" section!:crazy:

    Thread find help...

    Well that's not exactly the one I was thinking of but it's what I was looking for. There was an etch thread that had some really nice larger ornamental panels and then some choker the OP made for his daughter... But yeah, I found what I actually looking for. Now let's see how I make out with...

    Thread find help...

    Sorry, not the one I was thinking about. The thread I'm thinking of was all chemical based and the OP had pics of very nice larger etched panels and some stuff (Jewelry, a choker I believe it was) he made for his daughter... it was based on some video game emblem. Went through "How To" again and...

    I was just cruising around the forums and found a pretty detailed thread on how to acid etch brass... Went through the how to index trying to fid it and couldn't, searched acid etch and it didn't come up with that. Anybody know which one I'm talking about? Thanks Mike Hey I found it...

    Show your Ind_Chuckz Workman/Heavy duty build!

    Oh man, I don't know about that... I think it would be only fair if you were riding a yellow bike!:21: (If you didn't get that ... at Chuck's expense, go back and take a look at how many yellow frames he's sold;))

    ??? So you are going to be using two handlebar stem? Hands down drag bars are definitely gonna complete the look, but man aren't you gonna be stretched out riding it? This thing is so off the hook, I'm digging the stance of this thing so much... even at this stage you could go in so many...

    Let's see your Pashley Guv'nor style bikes!

    I just went through this thread for the first time... and well OK, it's not my cup of tea (pun intended, Mum!), but man some of these bikes are well... elegant! Very Lands End/Eddie Bauer catalog looking (Not meant to be an insult!), lots of really nice ornamental stuff going into these. "Quaint...

    Workman frame build possibilty... Now "Workman RS"! All but Fini!

    Quick update... Just obtained a black profile Imperial (That's gonna have to be close enough Luke;)). On that same region, I've got a pair of Orig8 pedal with the blue anodized cage in route, which I'm thinking should look pretty cool. All the required Nexus and SA components are in route (bell...

    Ah, but it is "fancy smancy"... What do you think the "RS" stands for? "Really Smancy"!:rofl:

    Show your Ind_Chuckz Workman/Heavy duty build!

    OK, I'll bite... 1st Workman INB frame purchased from Chuck, "the Lead Sled". Which unfortunately I'm diggin' the about-to-be-finished "Worksman RS" so much that the "LS" is subject to a face lift! ... and the 2nd INB frame purchased from Chuck, the not quite finished "Worksan RS", Core 77...

    Workman frame build possibilty... Now "Workman RS"! All but Fini!

    Hah, that's the funny thing (Profitability!), seems like the shops that are doing these limited run bikes based on Worksman frames are asking outrageous prices for them. Obviously the "Core 77" comes to mind at $2500, bot I also ran across "the Gentleman", which was a nice bike but $1200 to...

    Nexus 3 speed hub w/ chain tensioners???

    So at every turn I encounter something that just reinforces my "Newb" status in this bicycle realm, looking to alleviate this when possible:crazy:... On the "Worksman RS", which as a Nexus 3 speed hub on the rear with Fat Frank tires, I'd like to use BMX chain tensioners. My rationale for this...

    Workman frame build possibilty... Now "Workman RS"! All but Fini!

    Well I'd have to say as many of these as he's sold on here it's probably deserving. I'm really surprised, in my hopping around the "WWW" for project ideas I've noticed what appears to be quite a closet following for these Worksman frames in various projects (Not just here). Several shops re...

    I'm actually working on a black sprocket... those chrome cranks ain't going anywhere, a sprocket's cheaper!;)

    Workman frame build possibilty... Now "Workman RS"! All but Fini!

    Well I;m definitely NOT done asking for advice on this... But it's getting there! Decided on a name change, it's now gonna be the "Workman RS", working up a suitable decal for on the head. This was just a quick mock up to share, still waiting for a bunch of stuff, like all the headset, shifter...

    Find bike boxes

    I'd say hit the Wallymart bicycle clerk with a fiver to leave one out back "next" to the dumpster... hit him up near closing though!

    Vintage & Custom Bicycle Ride & Pub Crawl Dunedin FL.

    Well the Dunedin Pub Crawl has come and gone, I'd like to think everybody had a great time, no injuries, no mechanical probs, nobody arrested... yes a success! How can you not dig a town that promotes bikes so well, and a fed/state funded bike trail going through the middle of it?! Anybody...
