What Brand Is This?


This will probably take someone a few seconds, but I am just stumped. Like a "tip of the tongue" thing.

Dunno, but 3 Rensho (pronounced San Rensho) comes first to mind.

More pics would make this easier. Is that engraving the only marking on the frame?

Definitely Basso. The presence of the fast back stays indcate a higher end model from no earlier than the very late 1980s, possibly an Ascot (Columbus MS) or a Loto (Columbus SLX/SPX).

I'm quite intimate with that logo. I fondle my Basso at least once a day.
