Hi Folks,

Would appreciate your help identifying this Basso I just picked up. From my research, I've learned chromed chain stays and fork crowns were found on early 80's Bassos, and the GAP was made with SL...however the sticker on mine says superbutted..implying SLX?

Anyways, on to the pics












Any idea as to what I have on my hands? I did notice that on certain Gaps, the lug connecting the tt and st has a longer point on the st. The same lug point on mine seems a bit shorter.

PAINT: whats going on with this bubbling paint? Is it a more serious rush issue? Has the frame been compromised?

Thanks!
