Yeah, check Boeing surplus sales on line, they come up for sale but not as often any more. Have 2 Schwinn heavy duti's from Boeing complete with baskets and apple box, one has vintage tool chits attached to frame.

I'm thinking this one was a special order from the mid to late 70's... the only thing that has been changed was the front hub and tire..

A badge I found a while back, a few years ago. I was told it was a reproduction for an anniversary model, but have yet to actually see another. Also have yet to see the reference to the original.

also see link for a 1920's pic.

I think I am a little late too this thread but here is my worksman industrial double straight bar. A little modified but I don't leave much stock. Heavy but glides like a town car. With the double drums it will lock up and skid this means it is one big medium gear with no top end.

Good looking bike! Yes, the frame is M2600 tall frame I believe 20 inch

Mine rides like a towncar too!

They've been around for over 100 years. Why is it, do you suppose that they don't seem to be very sought after or collected?

I don't think they put any thought about aesthetic design into their bikes. Totally utilitarian and boring, they look like a school project.

Worksman bikes are bulletproof. They have several varieties of bikes available, from 2 wheel industrial to 4 wheel assistance bikes. The place I work has used them for the last 40+ years and they keep going. Recently they started getting some 3 wheelers made in China and they are being scrapped after 2 years. I bought one for personal use and I swear by them. Here’s a pic
