On it's way, and I can't wait!
Will be here Friday, and I am SO stoked! 
I've been jonesing for some old school Italian steel since I foolishly sold my Pinarello.

I got mine from the same shop that supplied his: Denver Spoke.
I should have never sold that bike. I tried to buy it back, but the guy I sold it to sold it to someone in LA and never did know the guys name. So it's gone for good, I think. Oh well, the Basso will be a great replacement!

Wow, you could afford a Pinarello back in '85?? 
All I could afford in 1982 was a Sears 'Free Spirit' (real 10-speed).
Think I paid $150 for it, new. Took my whole paycheck and made me broke, but I was happy.
Nice Basso btw. Love the color scheme.

I LOVE the paint scheme on both! Red, white, and blue, with chrome headtube lugs? Absolutely hedonistic!

Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

Beautiful bike and I very much like that paint scheme. It has all of the flash of Technicolor cycling. There was a Look that was recently posted here that was similar and here is my Tommaso.
