I just finished my Basso Gap. Well, except for a white Regal and a little touch-up painting on some scratches, and one of the brake cable guides was off and hanging on the rear cable housing when I got it. Not sure how to fix that yet.... I had intentions of fitting a complete Campy 10speed drivetrain, not for the mega-gears so much as the convenience that the Ergo's provide. On a fluke, and because I am an odd sort, I thought I would see how the 10speed brifters worked with the existing 6speed stuff. To my huge surprise, it works like a charm. 100% smooth!!!! As well as I remember my Dura Ace 7700 stuff shifting...Shifting clean and crisp under power, climbing, you name it. I have Veloce brifters, first generation Chrous derailleurs, Shimano 600 6speed free-wheel 13-23t, not sure of the chain...

Chrous/MA40 (the ones with the red label) wheelset, Chorus b-bkt, 10sp Centaur dbl crankset, NOS Dura Ace cableset, Cinelli 1R stem, Cinelli 66-40 Bars, Chorus headset, Veloce brakeset. All thats missing is a nice white Regal to top it off....

anyway, just thought I would share. I posted before when I first got the Basso, thought I would bring everyone up to date. This project was made so much easier, and turned out nicer, thanks to the advice and answers to my many dumb questions and posts. Thanks everyone...
