I haven't seen any others like it poking around in the search engines. It's lugged and obviously had a "Sundance" sticker on it which I assume was a race team of some sort.
While I can't offer any advice, I must comment: She's a beaut!
Of course, I'm probably a tad biased as Basso is one of my favorite Italian brands. Nice machine, and a great history around it. I must agree that there is precious little Basso information out there - took me over a year (and a chance look at an eBay auction) to realize that my own '85 Basso was painted to resemble Alexi Grewal's winning Pinarello from the 1984 Olympics.
Now that I've buttered you up, how much will you sell the frameset for?
Just kidding (but wouldn't mind if you were willing to take it seriously)
Do enjoy it.
