(ORBO) The Sportsman finished

[jamesdart]

The Sportsman started as a worksman m2600 frame used in some factory or something. I came up with the plan to build sort of a throwback to an 80s bmx. I don't really have a stockpile of parts so I used parts that are readily available to most of us, but remind me of what was cool back in the day. I feel the name fits, it's like if worksman decided to build a bmx inspired bike for dad to ride around with jr.
Here's the build

Beautiful blue bomber!

Looks pretty tough.

That's the best Worksman frame IMO.

Agree with you on that.

Love the color combo, Blue and black with gumwalls. [emoji605] [emoji605] [emoji106]

Love the lines of that frame.

 

[moleman]

Very nice! Is that frame larger/taller than a standard cruiser frame?

 

[jamesdart]

the top tube is a little higher than a standard worksman inb at the seat, but that's about it. everything else is in the same location.
