However, I'm still curious as to how much this bike is really worth, and also it compared to the Peugeot PX-10 as I'm deciding on which of them to purchase.
A couple of us have already suggested around $350 --- but its the type of bike that if you pay a little more, its not a deal breaker, -- its a nice bike
Regarding comparisons to a PX-10 ? I'm biased because the vast majority of my bikes are Italian , --- Its not a crime to have 2 C&V era bikes though
My TreTubi DeBernardi rides very well, --- and I think its the bike in my stable that compares pretty favorably to this Basso ---- hard to describe other than to say its smooth and mellow, -- but I have it decked out with an upright riding position and a triple chainset too
Were this Basso mine, I would look around for a period correct crankset for it, install some tan sidewall tires, and enjoy it
