I'll second that.  I have to say that your bassett is one of my favourite bikes I have ever seen on RAD.

Once my Skyway Cruiser is built I might have to look for a 26" cruiser for myself.

Thanks for all the kind words! 

It's a super fun daily cruiser. Right now I'm running 41-19 gears, so the low gear 56.1 inches and the high gear is 76.3 inches. It's a Southern California Classic with custom touches. Dig it!

Here's some old Bassett goodies for you...
