Ladies and gents!
Allow me to present you these two mega-super-nice road frames.
1) Basso Gap. Gap was one of Basso top models. This particular one is from 1997.
Few words regarding tubing - "Basso tube concept" in most cases means Columbus SL/SLX or SLX & Dedaccia tube mix.
Condition - no dents, dings or cracks. No rust. Original paint and decals in overall very nice state.
Two spots on frame I would like to point out. Nothing to be afraid of though. Small spot on top tube where minor paint bubbling/corosion/damage is present and spot on right chain stay, closer to seat tube - marks from chain drop. Check pics.
Specs:
seat tube - 580mm center to center, 600mm center to top
top tube - 570mm center to center
head tube - 165mm
rear spacing - 130mm
fork - 1" inch
seatpost - 27.2mm
bottom bracket - 36x24 (Italian)

Price - 170GBP including postage to your doorstep.
N.B!
Headset, BB, stem & bars NOT included, but can be obtained, if desired.
2) Panasonic PR-5000 frame (unfortunately w/o original fork) circa 1991-1993, made from Tange double butted tubing.
These frames was in top of Panasonic road bike hierarchy (right below PR-6000 which was used by pro teams) and these days are pretty rare.
Condition - excellent. No dings, dents, cracks or other structural damage. No surface or inner rust.
Previous owner (gentleman from Germany) claimed that this frame was used by Panasonic Pro team and when he got it, it wasn't in its best visual condition, that's why he repainted it as it can be seen now.
Nevertheless it's true or not this is beautiful handcrafted frame made from one of the best Tange tubings.
It's lightweight sporty geometry frame with nice details such as: nice clean lugs, race number hanger and nice sleek original design seatstays.
Specification:
seat tube - 580mm center to center, 600mm center to top
top tube - 570mm center to center
head tube - 157mm
rear spacing - 130mm
fork - 1" inch
seatpost - 27.2mm
bottom bracket - 1.37x24 (English)
