I know there's a few Bassett fans in the UK so I thought I'd post my latest build...

It's still under construction...I'm looking for some NOS 26" gold hoops with no brake rub that I can build with an old Sachs Torpedo 2-speed kickback hub. If anyone else digs old Bassett stuff/history I recently started a Bassett topic and filled it with old ads, photos, and junk here...

I love that bike!

Fantastic job.

RyanPartridge · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2011, 05:03 PM »

Thanks!

Yesterday I picked up some NOS 26" gold Araya hoops! Now I'm just waiting on a vintage Sachs Torpedo Duomatic 2-speed kickback hub to arrive from Australia. In the mean time, I've got to find a front hub to use...maybe a Phil or Sunshine...not sure what to use yet...

Once I get the wheels laced up she'll be dialed in for years of cruising!
