now that`s one sweet ride! love those basman frames! great job!

Thank you so far, guys!

Where do you get halflink chain from?

The chain is from a bmx store in hamburg. Should be available by nearly every bmx mailorder worldwide. On my bike there are two chains in use to fit the length.
Halflinks are goodlooking and massive, but a 100% straight chain line is needed, if you want to use it with a speed hub like a nexus. Without a 3piece bmx crank is hardly difficult to get this chainline.. Otherwise it'll be a little bit noisy, especially when you climb up longer distances.

you're lookin' for the tires or the frame? for the frame the link in the post above is right, to watch out for the tires you may have a look at 3gbikes.com. i really like that tire for the muscle car look. and i'm lucky that i might have grabbed the last available pair in europe. :mrgreen:

If you order from the U.S., be prepared to pay some hefty duty. They are imported/sold by firebikes, who doesn't(or at least didn't) include that in their hefty shipping fees...
