Just finishing up my first Worksman build this week. Here are some before and after pictures. Unfortunately, it's a little too cold for outside pics so it's a little tough to see the details in the photos.

Beautiful bicycle. Ive been wanting to do a finish like that on a workman I scored not too long ago. What did you use to strip the paint and polish the frame? And how did you prevent rust from forming under the powder coat? I've had frames sand blasted but they just come out with a grey matte finish.

Here is mine. Still working on it. Should be completed in a few weeks. About to go on Vacy so need to put it on back burner for now.

I love the Spun aluminum tank.. Man I bet that trike would be a blast to ride around town in.???
Nice Job.!!!

You need to get ol'Boy an M2600 frame, and swap all those bits over to that....Awesome build....cheap, yet tasteful... well, as far as spiderwebs CAN be tasteful, i guess. =D Love the slingshot stem...

I have a similar frame, but an INB. It has a crude headbadge decal, similar to the nicer decal used starting in the early '80s. Note the "built-in" seat post clamp. I am guessing late '70s maybe.



Some other differences:

I always thought tandems were silly, but this thing is a lot of fun. Was riding w/ my 8 y.o. son last weekend through our neighborhood park / bike path. We passed a middle-school aged skate rat sitting on a bench and I heard him say to his girlfriend that the bike was "sick".

 

[Bicycle808]

I know i've said this before, but that yellow INB with the horizontal ends is the raddest frame i've ever seen. Not that i'd know, but i agree that it's mid/late 70s, if i had to guess.

Going to try to get around to building this one soon.
