I've been eyeing up the Workswell 095 -

http://www.workswellbikes.com/web/view/225.html

Has anyone taken the plunge? I already have a Workswell 085 and a Carbon-Cycle 066 but i'm getting that itch again. Not overly keen on the integrated brakes but the frameset looks sweet. I was quoted $714 to deliver to the UK.

The price is getting up there especially considering the dollar vs pound rate.

Hey guys.

I am new to the forum and have a few short questions. I am interested in buying a workswell frame model R-066, but I am not sure in size 56 will fit me just right. I am 186 cm tall. I was told by Candy at Workswell that they only produce model R-066 in size 56 and smaller. Does anyone of my size have any experience? Otherwise I will have to look to the model R-085. Is anyone riding it and can report about quality?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

Looks very promising. I'll be watching for builds.

Bikergrove, you are my "owner lookalike" in UK (but I live in Italy).
Infact I own two bikes mounted, exactly a fm066 and a orge 077(the same as workswell 085...)...what a coincidence!

I am waiting for them to be ready to produce with a size 52 mould and i'll order. They had issues with the stem so now begins a new testing phase ...
The price includes the stem and handlebar, which seems more ok.

Do note the details of the saddle clamp.

Its not compatible with all carbon railed saddles.( If you looking in that direction.)

Is there really no one that can help? I would also like to know what is the difference between the HF R 066 and the WCB R 066?

Guys, please help :)

They look similar, but not the same.
Just google their geo.
Homgfu has larger size frames.
Well, at least it is written so.

So what would you suggest for my size (187 cm)? Size 56 or 58?
