SOLD. Thanks

I got this on eBay last year, advertised as a Basso 53cm but I think it's closer to 55cm. It was about £85 plus postage.
There are some Basso decals and even a little bit of pantographing but it's not especially light. It's steel (that black stuff in the pictures is rust) but not Columbus of any type. Campagnalo Mirage chainset and derailleurs, some kind of Shimano Ultraglide cassette.The breaks are Suntour GPX, levers are Exage. Wheels: Rigida. Tyres are pretty new but nothing special. Tape is new (I had it put on before I realised this wasn't going to work out).
Biggest issue is the rear axle. It's rusty, it slips so every time you break you've got to get off the damn thing and reset the wheel. I'm guessing that's an easy fix. Oh and it needs a new bracket to stop the seatpost slipping too. Other than that, everything works (I've only ridden it once or twice).
Can't post. I'm in Peckham, near the station.

Weird. Sends me straight to Flickr from my Mac, but not from my phone. Dunno what to do about that. I'll try to address it tonight. Meantime, if you're interested please PM me and I'll send you the photos. Thanks.

They are probably on private and you're signed in on your mac but not your phone.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
