Old skool Basso lo-pro

Just dragged out the loft, where it's been hiding for 10 years... might use for a couple of charidee rides in the summer. Should scare some folk to death with the disk rattle and gear clunks

Greetings Gary.
I would recognise that bike anywhere.
I also remember doing a 21:11 on the F1 with that old disc in the back of my Colnago.

Hey Chris, how's it going?

I remember the reason the rig went in the loft.... having a minute taken out of me round the valley by a guy on a mountain bike with mudguards! lol

Yeah, still plugging away. Mainly mtb now.
Pretty sure I've seen you recently in an MX5 with a TVR no. plate. Did you have a big exhaust to make it sound like a V8?

pupp · Apr 17, 2010

Nearly right; was an MGB with a big exhaust and a brace of blowers to complete the illusion. Passed you on Tues night... you looked like you were suffering; found that quite cheering!

Any decent roadraces on locally in the next few weeks?

Bigfish · Apr 17, 2010

I was pretending to suffer to make the others feel better.
H/caps have just finished, and the 10s start on Wednesday. There are no local RRs any more, but the Friday night MTB series has gone from strength to strength.

Isn't that considered a Basso Gap TT frame?

I really don't know TBH, the frame came to me with little info... I was simply wanting something a little more single minded than my road bike for short club TTs and a dealer/frame builder mate had just put it through his painters. I probably only used it a dozen times but it proved effective enough whenever the rider was.

Have never found much info on Basso (as a maker) by googling etc so grateful for any info
