The Rustman - new pics p. 2

[DeadBolt89]

Hey!
Today my new frame arived and as my budget is limited I used the parts I had laying around. That's what I came up with:

The wheelset and cranks where the remains of my abandoned Felt-project, the fork was used on my sold Porucho frame and the stem and handlebars I had laying around.

I really like the 'Schwinn' style springer with frame. Then again, that frame looks good with just about ANY fork!

Nice work so far, find a nice black or red seat and ride it!

Cheers,
Dr. T

Re: Basman ScrapRod

Put the B17 from my Diamant on... rides good. But when I have fixed my B66 I'll put that one on.

Re: Basman ScrapRod

Small update on this one...

what's new:
- new seat post
- put my B66 on
- changed the handlebars, the ones on the photo look good but didn't work with the shifter so I changed them for a similar one but with Project346 wood grips instead of bartape...

Re: Basman ScrapRod

Really sweet bike. One thing that caught my eye though... Mind if I ask what kind of hub you're using up front? Thing's wild looking!

Hey!

The front hub is an extra wide cycle ball hub and was made by Renak.
You can get them over the german ebay site: http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261029078309

Re: Basman ScrapRod

That came out great.
I did the same thing as you when I got my Basman frame. I didn't really have a plan, so I scrounged the goodies I had on hand and actually put something together that looks and rides nice. Thanks for posting the pics. -can't get enough Basman pics

Re: Basman ScrapRod

The ScrapRod isn't scrap anymore...
Changed the fork, added new stem and handlebars and a new sprocket...

Very cool, it definitely catches the eye. Almost looks like an old "Prior" hub too. Awesome bike!

Re: Basman ScrapRod

Some new outdoor pics with moon and other handlebars:

Oh and the frame maybe gets a new rear end this winter. This is what I'm aiming for:

Had this idea for a while now and the Basman seems to be the ideal base to try out.

Re: Basman ScrapRod goes "Black Betty"

What did you do with the wide spinger? Did you modify your did you buy it?

It was a normal springer that I had powder coated and modified. All you need is a threaded rod and a lot of washers.

Here you can see the modifications:

Re: Basman ScrapRod goes "Black Betty"

should leave it as is ,the frame is awesome!, so do the total bike great job!

 

[DeadBolt89]

I think it is time to update this thread...

Some of you might have noticed that "Black Betty" has been turned into the "Rustman" or maybe better "Flakeman"...
