Well, you don't sound in love with your new aquisition, but I think once you ride it for abit, you will appreciate what a nice frame you have there. Good luck!
Oh, and I love the panto stem! That has to be a very rare piece, I've never seen one...
Basso also liked 3 tone bikes. Here is my daughter's 1985 Gap in the 'Americana' paint scheme. BTW I found this at Goodwill last summer for $14.99. She really likes this bike.
To the OP: Very nice find.
