Hello Friends, opening this thread to track this beach cruiser build.
Started off as a frame and fork found on the internet. I've wanted a chrome Bassett Star Cruiser for about one year now. Frankly I had moved on but one popped up for sale and frankly, without thinking to much, snatched it up.
Since I'm sourcing all the parts from the used market, everything needs to be, silver, chrome, or polished with the exception of rims and tires perhaps.
So far I've gotten an SE polished stem.
Also a set of SE cranks.
I'll grab a sealed headset from Amazon. I saw an Origin8 for 30 bucks that looked fine.
The bars will be: 7/8" Flat Track & Scrambles Handlebars Chrome 4.5" Rise from EMGO part # 23-92404 and hopefully arrive today.
Not sure on grips yet, I'd like to find a set of vintage dirt bike grips. My buddy has a perfect Pink non throttle side grip so it may make the cut but also depending on what I can find for the "throttle side."
Saddle will probably be a brown Brooks B67.
Currently on the hunt for a set of wheels, I would prefer chrome/silver hubs and a colored rims would be the preference.
