RRBBO13 RAW DEAL

[Rat Rod]

I’ll be using a raw Worksman Newsboy frame as the base for my build. This could be a quick finish. [emoji4]

Strider bike?

Welcome to the build off and the forum.

Looks like a good start!

Good to see you are the build-off head honcho.

Look at you with your fancy schmancy gum walls and cross brace handlebar, you call that bare bones? What's next, anno chain and billet pedals? Piker.

Just realized that someone else already used "Bare Bomber" as their name.

Might have to change mine to avoid confusion.

 

[gowjobs]

"Bare this," and, "Bare that." What are you fellas, a bunch of naturists?

 

[Rat Rod]

I think I may change it to....."THE WORKING BEACH BUM"

There’s a tire for that

Maybe you should change the name the the Beach Streaker (or Don't Look Ethyl!)

Good name change.

I like the double meaning.

Might have to change the name again...ha ha!

Today we got home from the 4th of July parade and I decided mock up the Worksman.

I had this red sealed bearing headset that ended up fitting the frame so I gave it a try. Took me about 2 hours to get it all put together. Didn't put any grease in the BB yet.

The reason I'm thinking about a name change is that I want to paint the frame and fork or maybe have it powder coated. Thinking about going with a light blue color. Thought it would look good with the red components.

I'm also planning to go with some black wall tires in the same style/design as these white walls. Need to order a set from Clyde James Cycles.

So here's how it looks mocked up....cruises really nice too.
