Hi all,

New member here from The Netherlands!
I always wanted a cruiser bike, so I was searching the internet for a nice one to buy. I could not find one, so I thought: "How difficult can it be to build your own bike?"
So I ordered a Basman Project 346 frame and started my project by 'learning by doing' without any prior experience. And it has been a fun (and challenging) experience so far.

Came across this nice forum and thought that I may learn some stuff from here.
Love to here your tips, tricks and advice!

Kind regards!

Welcome! Which part of the Netherlands are you from?

Je kunt hier veel leren, een fantastisch forum!

Looking forward to your Basman build in the build section!

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

I’m from Tilburg in the south of the Netherlands.

I will post my current build project later today in the build section for you to enjoy.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

It’s interesting that you cannot find the bicycle of your dreams in the Netherlands, because I’ve always considered that part of the world the real euro-bicycle capital.

But we never see any bicycles in central California that were built in the Netherlands, so please post photos.

I lived in San Jose, CA for 2 years and me and my wife used our Dutch bikes (including front child seat) regularly there
