I have a Basso 'Loto' in the same colours and the paint job is just superb. In the late eighties the 'Loto' built from SLX was the top of the Basso range. It looks to me like an identical frame although it does not have the distinctive 'Loto' logo. The price of £230 I thought was fair particularly with the unusual chromed front lugs, so the sale price of £190 was a bit of a bargain. Certainly a lot of frame for the money.
Apparently Basso's are renowned for awesome paint finishes, because they have invested heavily in the finishing side of the business and have built an excellent reputation for that. This is in addition to building great frames too.
