Ascot?
 
Anyone know about this model? Best I could find is that this is a Basso model. Don't even know if this is the right place. :)

I think they are best worn in parties that have people serving Champagne.

The Ascot was Basso's frame with Columbus MS (Multi-Shape) tubing. It's lighter and more resilient than the SLX framed Lotto, but just as strong and stiff. Should be very late 1980s or early 1990s. Very high end.

Taking a look in a few minutes. Listed for $20 needing some TLC

$20 bucks for an SLX frame!! Heck, if it is your size, go for it!

No go. I really doubt this was a high end bike-the head badge was "Ascot 10", stem shifters and 26 x 1 3/8 tires. I briefly considered it, but I'll spend the $20 on something useful.

At $20, it's definitely not a Basso Ascot, unless it damaged and hot.
