Custom Vintage Worksman Strandie Build

[Jbyrd666]

Hey Guys and Gals . I've finally finished my Worksman bike ... well almost ... were never REALLY finished with these bikes are we? Lol. Anyways I picked up a vintage Worksman INB Newsboy Frame and Fork the other day on Offerup for $100 and it was already powder coated black!!! I had it sitting in the garage for awhile collecting dust until I came across an ad in offerup again of a guy selling Worksman parts off of a LGB (Low Gravity Bike or Truck Bike) the ones with the 26" rear wheel and the 20" front wheel with the giant box or basket on The front . All I wanted was the rear wheel but he wanted to sell all the parts a front 20" wheel and 26" rear wheel and front and rear fenders and the chain guard. Well I got all of it for $40 and the rear wheel has the Internal 3 geared Shimano pp3 hub!!! With the shifter, cable, and the bell crank!!! Huge score!!! Anyways I finally threw this bike together with the rear Worksman 26 inch wheel and a front aluminum 26 inch wheel Brand New Deli whitewalls, some GT 3 piece Cranks and Sprocket, brand new 22.2mm layback Seat Post with the original Worksman Clamp that's welded in place. Some chrome S&M Hoder bars, SINZ Stem, and a BMX Style Front Fork with a threadless steer tube.S&M x ODI Grips, some basic black aluminum I number Platform pedals, a 415 Heavy Duty Chain, some ProMax chain tensioners to even things out and an old Beach Cruiser seat , I'm gonna switch it out for a Brooks B17 Saddle, or something similar possibly a Lepper which I just found were great seats. But Here's the (almost ) finished product just wanted to see what you guys think so far? Thanks again .

Thanks and I appreciate it I was going for a kind of minimalist look you know?
