Help!

Hi guys. I'm new to Rat rod but not new to liking classic bikes. I have recently discovered the Basman and how rare and expensive they are. I have also found out about the Micargi Royal. Neither are accessible for me. Are there any other options as far as styling goes? I'm in Canada so I would prefer to buy something that I won't have to pay exchange and duties on.

Get an old CCM ballooner and fix it up. No gov't fees. Gary

If you're not above smuggling....otherwise you will have to buy canook!

Are there no stores in Canada that carry Basman or Ruff Cycles frames? I may be spoiled here in California, but there are a couple of stores here that have those.

If you're really worried about price, Micargi has a Basman-like frame for cheaper. I've noticed that Micargi is kind of like the Prowings of bikes. They copy more expensive frames, and sell them for a little less.

Sometimes, laziness frustrates me.
GOOGLE.
As I tell my kids, get off the pot.
If you want used, drive over and buy one, drive back.

Yah no Basman dealers in Canada at all. I got lucky and there is a guy in Toronto that carries Ruff. I'm picking up a Dean frame this Saturday. Pretty excited.
