1979 Bassett 26"

1979 stamped Bassett 26" cruiser frame and forks.

Was mine until I sold it to Shannon Gillette (aka: thumperpilot) recently. He is in the process of turning it into a racer.. should be a top quality build based on what I've seen him do with his other projects.

did they make a 20 with this frame design? my very first bike looked just like this in a 20 inch. it was a hand-me-down from my cousin. all i remember was that it weighed at least 100 pounds.

COOL BIKE I HAVE ONE TOO HERE IT IS

Here is my 1981 Bassett Racing Star Cruiser that I have I just got it from my Dad and it was in storage, I have completley check out the bike and checked the bearing, tightened the spokes, checked the tires and I installed the 3-speed shifter (this came on the side with the bike when my dad got it, and was never used, but I installed it, and the bike rides beautifully.
