For Sale: Basso Fior di Loto - Frameset

With a heavy heart I'm offering up my frameset for sale - I have a new fillet brazed 853 coming from Talbot Frameworks and I can't justify keeping both in a small flat (at least according to SWMBO)

The bike was treated to one of armourtex's pricier re-sprays - (purists look away now) giving it a thin copper/brown finish which has a slight sparkle to it and a fine texture. It allows the pantographing and the lugs to look sharp through the paint.

Sale includes the following:

• Basso Loto '95 Frame in 53cm x 54cm TT - Basso 'Superlight tubing' (branded Columbus SLX)

• Straight Blade lugged fork (Ahead) as seen in the pic

• Original threaded curved Basso fork (with original red paint)

• Campagnolo Chorus Headset (Newish) with carbon (record) topcap

• Custom painted KELLY steel stem - 110mm

• Dura Ace down tube cable adjusters

I shall upload a couple of detailed shots of the frameset today, but first, here is what the bike looks like built up...
