Dating a Basso Gap frame

Hi all,

It was suggested I should post this here. So I thought I'd give it a try. It's a Basso Gap frame and I think it dates from the 90s but am not sure. Just curious about the fork on it since I have seen other Basso Gap frames with lugged fork crowns. This one has welded fork arms on the steerer. Anybody see this before. Tubing on the frame is 25 Chromo4SX. It says Basso Concept Tubing. The frame is a lugged frame. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Roland
