Basso Brothers....Twins!!!

The one on the right is Marino, the one on the left is Alcide....or is it the other way around....I get these two mixed up....Actually, I just picked up one the other day from a riding friend I know. Incredibly, it was exactly like the one I already had. I didnt even change the position of the bars and stem. I did convert it from down tube to brifters, just to make it match the other one.
