1978 26 inch Bassett Star Cruiser

I just finished this bike , I hope you all like it ! This frame was bent and had a small crack by rear dropout to my surprise when I received it . It was all hidden by a fresh powder coat so I did not know until I took it to Rex … He put it on a frame jig and straightened it out , repaired the crack as well . We suspect that this frame was in a car accident on the freeway … vehicle got rear ended with this bike in the back of vehicle . This story is not confirmed yet . So she is straight now and rides great ! “Life after Death” thats this bike . You got to keep rolling .
