Older Worksman Cruiser Camo / Ratted Out

[FreddyS]

Found another cool bike at good value so I bought it. It is an older Worksman single speed cruiser that was previously owned by a retired Army guy. He dropped a camo paint job which is not the best but cool anyway. Frame and rims are original, the seat is not.

What do you guys think?

Not crazy about the camo but looks very solid. Nice

Camo and whitewalls together?
Nice heavy duty coaster bike otherwise.

edit: Shiny post also out of place.

Agree. Not a fan of white walls in general and they don't go with the Camo paint at all. If I had some all solid black tires I would swap out.

That bike Is Awesome . MY .2c, I'd put Big knobby MTB tires, or camo the white walls...You don't want to give you're position away with whitewalls

I was looking on the old net on how to make white walls black and found there is something called black stove polish. A couple of guys swear by this. Have any of you guys ever heard of it or tried it?

A bug out bike?

Just picked up a really nice set of Hutchinson 26x2 mountain bike tires which I plan on swapping out with the whitewalls. Got them dirt cheap! also gonna black wrap the seat post. Hopefully I find the time to do it this weekend!

OOOhh bug out headlight...!

Found some knobby mountain bike tires and installed. Looks a lot better than the whitwalls IMO.

A long spring saddle would look killer on it IMHO and lacking that rear reflector

Went and visited this the other day....maybe you need a pair?

Ha, ha!

Now I know where the prior owner got the inspiration for that color scheme.

Monkey see, monkey do!
