I just put this together a few weeks ago. Nice ride all around...1985 Basso Gap with circa 2008 (?) Campy Centaur 10 speed. Some may recall seeing this in the appraisal section as I was trying to help a friend decide whether the Basso in it's 1985 build was a good bike to buy.

I bought this a little while ago with all Shimano 600 Tri Color components (7 speed DT shifters).
Converted everything to Campagnolo except the pedals which are DA7810 and the headset which is still Shimano.
Here it goes:
Initially I thought I would have to respace to 130mm since I didn't like the gear ratio of the 7s Shimano setup but now everything works perfectly for me. Wanted to go 32h but the hubs dictated 36h wheels.
Rides like a dream and I couldn't be happier, except that I am sad that I am all done; was a lot of fun to put it all together.
Probably need a new project soon

BTW, how do I embed a picture full size instead of a thumbnail. I tried with a link to Flickr but no luck.

Even though not technically a qualifier, I feel like my main steed belongs here.

It seems to be what I call the "sweet years" which 1985 to 1991..IMO, that frame is begging for a powder coat, with fresh labels..
It is a very handsome and balanced bike..

Harlan, I remember seeing the pics of you hand painting the bubbles and circles on that 'unknown' italian frame.
Gotta say...IT ROCKS!

Thanks! I actually just put a carbon fork on it because the original was an oddity as the new DA 7800 front caliper could not reach the rim. I definitely changed the wheelbase and maybe rake. It's steers much faster now. I don't really mind. With the 10 speed indexed downtubes it's like driving a sports car. It may still get the same paint treatment.
It's definitely from the sweet years. It will forever remain a mystery however. All Cinelli frame parts though.
Thanks! That means a lot coming from the Dr himself.
