I wonder if somebody please would tell me with which paint scheme this Basso have? The head tube is suppose to be minty green. Here is a pic and some more info:

Also, Miche components, are they of good quality? It is the first time I have come in touch with any all I know is that they are from Italy.

Any help would be most appreciated,
mike

not sure if it helps but here's a basso i inherited with the same green and orange combo. it's original paint. the bike is from maybe 1987 or so..
ar far as Miche stuff, it's very good quality italian made components, widely used in track circles. Miche is sort of Campy's little sister.

Thank you.

Basso bikes are very nice indeed. Their paint schemes are a hit or miss though :)

Miche sounds more and more interesting for sure. Very useful info.

Thanks again,
mike

I'm very fond of Basso frames, but I think that paint scheme is more a sign of the times rather than a Basso thing. Miche stuff seems alright, if a bit rare in the US. They are distributed here by Red Rose and have one of those annoying Italian Flash websites: Miche Website . Is there a law in Italy that requires the use Flash animation on a website?
