Basso Loto vintage bike restoration

Basso Loto on Campy Record. The frame paint is our joint work with Karel Chmelíř: I came up with the idea and he just masked and painted and cursed... the most. The green design won out of about five gorgeous color combinations, basically because I don't have a green bike yet. I found about two usable photos of the green and white combination on Google, according to a bunch of photos of all colors, my friends cut out templates for transitions between colors and printed delas for me. Instead of the frame material decal, I used a sticker sent to me by sellers from Ebay, Velograma, when I bought something from them...nice guys. The eight-speed Campagnolo Record with brakes that finally, in addition to beauty, have excellent braking performance is a benchmark of the perfect appearance and functionality of components of that time. New (old) Mavic rims of course with green stickers to match the frame. Oh, and most of all, I don't want to hear anything about the white tape! I build my bikes so that I can ride them ... and the white tape is definitely not for that.
Enough talk and let's get to it!
Basso Loto na Campa Record. Lak rámu je naše společná práce s Karlem Chmelířem: já jsem vymýšlel a on jen maskoval a lakoval a nadával...to nejvíc. Zelená předloha zvítězila mezi asi pěti nádhernými barevnými kombinacemi v podstatě proto, že zelené kolo ještě nemám. Našel jsem na Googlu asi dvě použitelné fotky zeleno bílé kombinace, podle hromady fotek všech barev mně kamarádi z reklamky vyřezali šablony na přechody mezi barvami a natiskli samolepky. Místo popisky materiálu rámu jsem použil samolepku, kterou mi poslali prodejci z Ebay, Velograma, když jsem od nich něco kupoval...sympaťáci. Osmirychlostní Campagnolo Record s brzdami, které konečně kromě krásy mají i vynikající brzdný výkon je etalonem perfektního vzhledu a funkčnosti součástek té doby. Nové (staré) ráfky Mavic samozřejmě se zelenými samolepkami , aby ladily s rámem. Jo a hlavně nechci slyšet nic o bílé omotávce! Stavím si kola tak abych nich mohl jezdit ...a na to bílá omotávka rozhodně není.
Dost řečí a jdeme na to!

Thank you very much.

Will be nice to get that beauty out on the road for a couple of hours once the weather gets better!

That's right, buddy. We had 35 cm of snow. Only the home trainer saves me a little..Thank you for watching.

Děkuji.

Simplemente PERFECTO. La elección de los componentes es un gran acierto. Y el trabajo de pintura es espectacular. Me gustaría que enseñaras en otro vídeo todo el proceso de pintado de algún cuadro. Felicidades y gracias por compartir tus trabajos.

Beautiful frame, Reynolds 531 ? Love the color scheme ! Campy gruppo ( jewelry ! ). Beyond beautiful ! I always look forward to your builds. Greetings from Florida 🌞. 👏👏👏

Columbus SLX. All Basso Loto have a beautiful paint scheme, it was hard to choose. Thank you very much for your support and greetings from the Czech Republic.

[@katherinesilvas5735]

The bottom bracket footage at 2:11 may indicate that tubing et al could be Oria. 3 breather holes like that suggest Oria- i could be wrong.

Great result worth the effort. Nice to see the Campagnolo tool set as usual. Wishing you loads of fun on it . Campagnolo 8 speed quality 👏👏👏 Happy New Year and best to the channel in 2023

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thank you for your support. Basso is a beautiful, maybe the most beautiful bike I've built on YT (so far). Now I'm just waiting for the weather to get warmer outside. I also wish you a nice year 2023.

[@kwokchong3781]

the repaint looks amazing. See if you can source the rear brake cable insert guide for the top tube. The foam rubber lining is a good work around. I have the same frame in Blue, the OEM insert is a little flimsy but it does work. I was a little disappointed BASSO did do a brazed on internal cable guide. Looking forward to your next build!

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

The blue Basso is also beautiful. Yes, the top tube routing is so "simple". Enjoy your bike

[@Dino-Novo]

Perfeita, eu fiz uma reforma de uma Basso era um pouco mais nova dos anos 90, pena que o quadro era do tamanho 56 e para mim tem que ser 52, mas passai para um amigo pelo preço de custo da reforma e ele adorou. Perfeita como sempre .

Na tyhle videa musim koukat zasadne po 22:00 :) ty Campa Saltry byly genialni na tu dobu, trochu tvrdsi oproti Shimanu, ale aspon se nevyklala brzdova paka a zadny kabely ktery couhali pres riditka

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

I ty páky líp sednou do ruky. Jen to počasí, ještě jsem tohle kolo neprojel a moc se na to těším. Děkuji za sledování videa.

Not an ounce of carbon in sight. Just the finest steel money can buy and acres of eye pleasing polished alloy. Perfect 😍

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Steel forever! Thank you very much.

[@markfriesen1435]

A gorgeous outcome as usual. I think I would have gone with white tape, but that's just personal preference. I only wish you would show more of the process before the gorgeous paint. I love to discover techniques for this.

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thank you for your support. The white wrap is nice on the wall, I sometimes ride it ... A friend makes me paint and usually sends me these few imperfect photos of process.

[@donnovicki9771]

Beautiful bike. I have always wanted a fine Italian racing bike, but it is almost impossible to find one in a 62/63 cm frame. They just didn't build too many large frames, and it doesn't matter what brand Masi, Benotto, De Rosa etc etc. . Why oh why can't I ever find one in my size? What Reynolds tube did they use on this bike?

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thanks for support. You have to look harder, you will definitely find a big bike. Basso is from Columbus tubes.

[@yonik2001]

Hi, really really nice bike! Where did you get the black cable spots? Greets

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thank you, I'm excited about that too. I'm looking forward to trying it out. I found black grommets somewhere in the workshop, one did not hold there, so I sanded another better from a big ones.

[@velizarpeikov322]

Are you selling these bikes they look amazing!

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thank you for your support. I don't sell.

[@tomkunich9401]

A suggestion, DO NOT tighten the rear derailleur wire lock with that round end of the Allen wrench, use the straight Allen on the side of the wrench. This can damage both the lock screw and the wrench.

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thanks for the recommendation, maybe I cut it earlier. I don't use the round end to tighten up, but for the video I have to do something with my left hand and something so that you can see what I'm doing in the shot and not my hand across the screen. Thank you for watching.

@@OnRoadVintageBikes - I assumed you knew this but that the watchers should have the proper method stated

[@FinnRadler]

Nice Bike do you build bikes for yourself or do you also sell them ?

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Some bikes are friends and some fans from youtube. But I build all the big frames for myself (so far, if they fit into my house). Thank you for your support.

Good work! But your Campy facing tool is not assembled properly

Try a campagnolo chain instead !!!

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Why?

[@tomkunich9401]

I've got one of the team versions built for Team Brugglemann. Rather than Columbus, it is built with Basso racing tubes. I love it, but it is 2 cm too large, so I have it up for sale. Basso is much better than Colnago, in my opinion. Too bad it doesn't fit me.

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Yes, Basso likes it a lot too, I'm waiting for spring to try it. Thank you for watching the video.
