Hi All,

Thanks for the answers on my other post -- I got the Basso home and I'm really, really pleased. I believe I've positively ID'd the group as Campagnolo Athena from the earlier days they were produced so thanks for the help with that. The bike is well used but not abused -- some nice things like campagnolo dropouts, a very comfy selle san marco saddle, Cinelli Criterium drop bars and some cool leather straps as well. This bike is light and sturdy -- shifting is a breeze.

Only one question remains -- how can I ID the date and model of the frame? The only stamp I can see on it is a 58 on the bottom which, since it's a 58cm frame, I'm assuming alludes to that. The bike is very light and the seller told me it was Columbus SLX tubing which seems right. Other than that, I don't know how to ID it...any cosmetic signs I should be looking out for?

Here are some pics...
