I'd never heard of Bassett until I saw that frame for sale.
Made in the USA, are they good quality?

They have a fantastic story. They started out making headers for the engines in race boats. Fantastic stuff, hand welded in Florida, the late 70s they made a BMX inspired cruiser cuz they saw what was going down in California. They're still making them today, still hand made chromoly. I don't think they ever really stacked up, value wise, against the Cooks or Lagunas, but that might just be California being California, they're probably as good

Ooff just saw this and definitely belongs here and also in the “I hate my ball sack” forums which probably live on NSFW websites
