Love that frame shape - those chainstays are LOW! Glad you were able to get a bike just for yourself!

oh yeah...I've been drooling over the Basman frame ever since I first saw one and you've done a reat custom...c'est tres chic et classique

That's really nice Basman! It's a '346' model I believe, he makes some beautiful frames. Can anyone here translate the french for us monolinguists? I love the way his seat tube curves around so tight to the back tire. They're really compact looking. I wish Chris had linked to a bigger picture of this one, I'd loved to download it for my webshots desktop collection. You can see more examples of Bas's bikes at chopperdome.com or for his latest work: cut and paste http://www.choppernewsnetwork.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=1458&Itemid=194 into your browser and it will take you to CNN for the latest on the last round of chopperbicycle.net's BB0 2.0. He's built a retro cruizer that looks much like a turn of the century dirt track racer, SWEET! You could also go to CBN and find it for yourself. We're down to the the final judging of the 10 best bikes, myself, Basman 33 and others are pitted against some amazing builders. Check it out!

Sweet ride, must suck going over bumps
