For you guys having trouble with the long handlebars. Do you think that the optional H3A low rise ATB-style handlebars would work better?....
I don't know about what Worksman is using, but I would bet that the springer forks are imported. Other examples I have seen of such springer forks didn't really work well and weren't very strong at all.
Regarding the regular Worksman
rigid fork--I can tell you that it requires a "BMX" 21mm stem. A regular 22mm 7/8" stem for 1" forks won't fit in it. Shorter-rise handlebars would be a lot less likely to have the problem of rotating in the stem--but with the frame already too small as it was for me, shorter handlebars were not really a solution.
