26 February 2010 - San Francisco (Wazzup)- "SFCYCO is proud to announce that the Basman Project 346 has arrived in San Francisco!  Pictured above is one of three that have arrived in our possession direct from Amsterdam for the first documented builds in Northern California.....

........In this blog you will take witness to the anatomy of a build from frame to complete bicycle."

23 January 2010 - Amsterdam (The Chopperdome)- Last year we got our hands on a shimano 3 speed discbrake hub used by Specialized...only problem it was 32 holes and as most rims we use are 36 holes. As problems are there to solved we started talking with our friends at Shimano and see 9 month later the birth of a new hub.

THE SHIMANO 3 SPEED DISCBRAKE SILENT CLUTCH HUB, 36 holes, black.

NOW IN STOCK AT THE CHOPPERDOME

Same width as a shimano seven speed hub, so easy to slide into a Project 346 Basman. The new 2010 Basman frames will come with discbrake tab rear. For those who already have a frame and want to adjust to discbrake rear there is always the QUAD solution.

20 January 2010 - Bergamo (Facebook)- A Basman used as platform by the Italian artist Vanni Cuoghi.

The Basman "Aqua in bocca"  was first presented at the fair of contemporary art in Bergamo.

13 August 2009 - Amsterdam (Wazzup)- The TT class was won by Jacob from Sweden. A very nice custom Basman. The story about this bike in his own words...

"Nearly two years ago I bought an Electracruiser and almost immediately I started thinking about what changes I could make. I realized that just by taking some parts off and replacingthem with other ones, I could create something completely different.

While hunting for the parts I wanted I soon discovered that there were alot more bikes out there and many like-minded people as well. Didn't take me very long  to end up at ChopperNewsNetwork.com and the Chopperdome. I talked my friend Christian into taking a roadtrip to Amsterdam for this bike-happening summer 2008... We had no place to stay, no plan but we had our bikes! We fell, head over heels. It was a great experience, with great people from all over, it was such an awesome gathering to be a part of. Even before this I had seen the Bassman 346 bike, but when I saw it in action at F.B.I 2008 I decided that I had to make my first serious build with a Basman.

Instantly I knew I needed 100 mm rims and monster Duro 4 1/4 tires. It was mainly the rounded shape along the back-wheel that inspired me to follow that line and to let it continue into a seat. The paint-job,the pin-striping and the wooden-parts were ideas that formed during thecreative process and of course some pieces I came up with were the results of running into problems. 

I was fashionably late and got everything together in the last minute. When we arrived to Amsterdam I got alot of positive respond to my Basman, but I never even imagined to win 2nd place in the COTY and to win in TT class. Also, I never thought my bike would roll through both night- and beachcruise, but it did! I'm truly grateful and most of all it has inspired me to continue building more beautiful bikes.

By the way, for next year I'm building a firebike.. "

7 May 2009 - Moscow (NOS.nl)-  De aanwezige Russen op de brug achter het Rode Plein in Moskou kijken vertwijfeld om. Wat is dit? Fietsende mannen in glitterpakken zijn zelfs in de mondaine Russische hoofdstad geen alledaags verschijnsel.
