You know how you start something, not sure of the direction you're going 'cause it's your first time?? Well, I finally finished my Basman tonight (actually picked it up from NOBS in NOLA on 2/5/13 so I could finished in time for Mardi Gras day, another story, another time.) and I gotta say I'm very happy with the outcome. Only one con: I lost my a/v cord for my camera so I can't post my pics until I buy a new one. Anyways, here's a short run-down of the parts list on my Basman:
26" Black 68-spoke wheels
26" Nirve Bada_ _ tires (sorry, that's the name of the tire)
Nirve Tan Leather seat and grips set
Nirve Street Sweeper fender set
Redline Hollowpoint Pro stem
Redline Flight BMX crankset
A used mountain bike handlebar (25mm rise, i think)
Schwinn Phantom rear reflector (repro)
Dupli-Color Metal Flake spray paint, Burnt Copper (brillant color, but extremely delicate with or without clear)
Springer fork
This is my new creed:
This is my bicycle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My bicycle my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My bicycle, without me is useless. Without my bicycle, I am useless. I must ride my bicycle often and I must ride it straighter than my friends. I will...ride!
