I finally did get a Basso Gap, 1984, and I couldn't be happier with the look, the ride, the speed and the comfort of it.
thanks, i'll check it out.
I want to make sure that i am getting a bike that i would have wanted to buy back then - proper geometry, the right tubing, etc.
I don't want to end up with an early 80s touring bike with mid-level tubing just because it's mid-80s, you know?
