Worksman IS the standard for industrial bikes!! NO ONE makes a tougher work cycle. Nobody!

How Worksman keep the price down is they use mild steel tubing that is welded on site and all
work is done in house by the 50 or so employee's who make up a "do it all" crew. ALL the parts
on a Worksman are heavy duty which means no hi tech materials are used anywhere to save weight
that drives up the price. Common simple steels and motorcycle wheel parts from Taiwan all work to
keep the cycle indutrial tough but low in price compared to racer boy weight weenie cycles.

You won't ever go fast on a Worksman but your grandchildren will be able to ride it when the
racer boy stuff is in the junk pile.
