Built this up from a frame and fork bought through the forum from Chuck. Looking for a worksman cycle truck if anyone knows of one for sale.
 
Same bike, but here's what it looks like now. I added a Sturmey Archer 3 speed drum brake hub, 1966 Bendix shifter, banana seat and 42" sissy bar. The green seat looks kinda funky, but it was substantially cheaper than the same seat in any other color! Besides, aren't rat rod bikes supposed to look funky? 🤣

This morning I had never heard of Worksman, even though I live 5 miles from their factory. Now after reading 35 pages of this thread, I must get one. I do remember the low gravity ones being used at stores in Manhattan when I was a kid. I wonder if they have dumpsters behind their building that are worth diving into.
 
Forgot about this thread.. Here is my Worksman Quad.
Picked it up for free.

I stopped by the Worksman factory around Christmas, what an awesome and friendly place! Wayne showed me around, and I was lucky enough to buy this chrome frame from them. They told me it was produced for a Hawaiian bike rental company and they aren't making any more. I built it up with some parts I pulled from my Klunker and a freshly rebuilt coaster hub. I might do some light duty gravel/touring with it, it rides like a dream.
