Thanks man! Not going brakeless, I've got a 2 speed Torpedo kick back hub on the way. For now I've got an old Tech 3 lever and some Dia Compe 1000(porkys) with some NOS yellow Vans brake shoes to use until my wheels are rebuilt.

Hell yeah!

Here's a Bassett "mini" that popped up for sale many moons ago over at the "Society".  A bit rough.....Yes, but I love everything about it. The added gussets, drilled parts and the Ralph's Bicycles  decals make me wish I was around to purchase it.

Sweet mini Bassett!

Here you go...
