Thanks for the offer. I think I've almost convinced myself to just go for it and build a Basman though. Trouble is, I can't find a large frame in the US at the moment.

I was thinking of using a Cruisers US wheel, not sure what a "clincher" rim is? Tire would be a SlickThick maybe. Thanks.

Can you fit a 26x2 tire on a 26x3 wheel? Sure it will be stretched a bit, but I'm going for the "sportscar with big wheels and low profile tires" look. I think my fallback is a 26x2.5 Hookworm, but they are really heavy. Would like something a bit lighter and with a smooth tread, if possible...

Wow, that's cheap! I've been looking on CL and nothing near here, and nothing under ~$500 it seems on evil-bay. Toying with the idea of building a Basman instead. More money, but the bike will be larger and fit me better. I feel like I'm perched way up in the sky riding around on my wife's...

Maybe something like this for inspiration: http://i.imgur.com/CURK1.jpg Thanks, Mike

So I want a Felt cruiser, but nothing in the current line really speaks to me, and there isn't much available used, so I figure I will build my own. I'm 6'-3" and about 200 lbs, with 35 inch inseam and want to build the bike to fit me. Main goals: 1) Be comfortable to ride. 2) Look awesome...

Hello all, new member from the Tidewater area of Virginia here. Been out of bikes for a looong time. My last bike was an early 80's Blue Max Mongoose with aluminum spider mags I got new in the early 80's while living in England :-) Unfortunately my parents gave the bike away while I was in...
