I have a few Basso's and there is a decent following of them. However, like me, most buyers will only pay a decent price if the bike is well presented and in nice condition. The wheels are not period and the brakes are from a later 9/10 speed groupset. The chainset and gears appear to be from 1990's Chorus 8 speed groupset. I would split it for the frame and sell the parts separately. If the chrome is ok under the crap on chainstay you might get £200-£250 for the frame on a good day. The parts may yield a similar amount.

Now sold.

Price dropped to £230

Small world. I worked at Harrison Cycles back in the late 80's

Thanks bud. I have a 753 Joe Waugh that Kevin built in the 90's and he resprayed my Somec. The quality of his frames is fantastic.

Frame is going on Fleebay at the weekend. Open to sensible offers before then.

It has 130 rear spacing.

I have a brand new Dura Ace 7410 1" threaded headset which I can chuck in for the price. You will need to source some bearings for it as I have used them on another build.

Its a BSA bottom bracket.

I have measured the stack and reach as accurately as I can so it should be within a millimetre or two. stack is 545mm and the reach is 390mm.

Thanks bud. The forks crown is a lovely shape. The frame would work with classic or modern groupset.

Some photos of the frame with wheels attached. Socks do make a good headset so the front geometry is slightly more laid back. The wheels have 25mm tyres fitted.

Sorry no photos of it built up. It was fitted with 25mm but would take 28mm at a push. Just out at the moment and will put some wheels on so you can see the clearances

Just trying to load up photos:-)

(SOLD) Kevin Winter 853 56cm centre to top, 56cm top tube with beautiful welds. Kevin was 753 approved back in the day and builds lovely frames. Overall really nice condition with a very small amount of surface rust as shown in the photos. Selling as its too small for me. I am Newcastle based. Price is £230 (reduced from £275) including postage in UK.

I have sent a message to Talbot to see if they do spacers👍

I'll have a look in to it as Giant use ISP spacers to raise the height too. I think they just rest on top without a lip.

I don't suppose you still have the 1.5cm bit that you cut off?

Bugger, I would have bought it if the seatpost had not been cut so low.

The bike looks lovely. Have you chopped the ISP down a little from the original pictures or did you remove the spacers (if there was any)? I normally have a saddle height of 782mm so would be keen to understand if the height could be increased.

Provisionally sold.

Now reduced to £750.

Cheers, I was thinking about using Retrobike but I think its doesn't have many members. Might try that next before ebay.

Anyone interested before it graces ebay tomorrow?

Sensible offers considered. I am after a set of Lightweight or Bora tubular wheels if anyone wants a swap.

Your right. They don't have the oil/grease holes in the centre.

Thats great news. The chainset has GS written on it so it may be the only non SR part👍
