I did 30 miles on the Basso up Cull Canyon and back. I was hoping for totally dry roads but there were three spots with water running across the road. The handling and balance on a climb was close to perfect and I got home and removing my gloves didn't hurt and it has been on the BMC. I noticed that the water bottle cage was broken and replaced it with a better MSW plastic version and the mounting screws on the Basso were also 4 mm. This is an insult to Flunky who cannot work on his own stuff but can tell us all about them. While I was in Robinson's Wheel works There was a Specialized Roubaix carbon bike that he had built for a customer. It had the standard 5 mm bottle mounts. Getting home I cleaned and polished the Basso and attached the BB cable guide. I also picked up a set of bar tape in Robinson's and I straightened the RSL wheel on the wheel stand when I got home.

They are quite a bit lighter than the RSL's I also forgot to add that I got a flat again 3 blocks from home on the way out on the ride, I fixed it so I was a little late going up the canyon but it was so cold that there were only two others coming down. And I think that they park at the base and only do the 13 miles in and out.

I don't know what year it is but it is built completely different from all of the previous Basso's with the ultralight steel forks and brazed connections between the top tube and seat stays. The bike also doesn't steer really stable but it is accurate so it goes where I steer. But it does tend to wander around on the road like a "real" race bike if you're not alert.

Interesting post.

The above is not from me but rather a synopsis of my earlier
post.

It is purportedly from "me" but shows an invalid email
address (we restrict allowed addresses at our server).

Brazed with lugs?

I beg your pardon for that. It took over an hour for the subject to appear on my news server and I thought that Google had stopped posing early and so tried to move the subject in total to my new news server. But that doesn't work well.

It has lugs on the BB and the head tube and brazed at the seat tube. The fully brazed Gap hadn't appeared until the following year.

I'm not at all sure it's your fault. The path this post took looks
completely different:

That's because tommy doesn't know there's a difference between a hex bolt with a 4mm drive vs M5

There was some sort of weirdness going on with ES overnight. It wouldn't
let me log on at all. Seems to be OK now.

ES users in another group I belong to have reported the same issues,
seems like the ES server may have been down/misbehaving for a bit.

That’s why I gave with Eternal September while the price is great it falls
over way too much, or simply does weird shit etc.

Except for a couple or three outages per year (usually hours
not days) I find it reliable and useful.

Tell me stupid, when I went up to Ace Hardware and bought a couple of 4 mm bolts, why did they fit?

Tell me stupid, why when I went up to Ace Hardware and bought a couple of 4 mm bolts did they fit. According to you, I should have bought 5 mm so that I had to go back and get the correct size. Now I know that you don't work on your own bike,

OK, I can tell you're stupid

I don't believe you, or, you bought a 4mm metric socket head screw and
got lucky that it was a M5.

> According to you, I should have bought 5 mm so that I had to go back and get the correct size.

No, according to me, you should have taken a similar bolt that fits in
the mount with you to match up, that way you'd be sure.

We know you shouldn't work on your own bike.
