The bike was finally ready after 7 months and I got charged about $240 extra for shipping.
I do like the bent and the owners desire to teach the kids is noble.

The other brand of bike down here is Atlas Industrial. Not sure where they are made. Most of them are missing their stickers. They look pretty much like the Worksman.

Back in the 1960's, my first job out of college was at Reynolds Aluminum. Your status in the plant was identifiable by what vehicle you used to get around the plant. Electricians rode Worksman bicycles, welders rode Ford 9N tractors, Plant Engineers (including me) rode a Cushman motor scooter with a sidecar, and managers had electric golf carts.

every single one we had had a frame failure in under 3 years. My company junked them
and went back to Worksman cycles.
