About this bike
1995 Basso Gap Titanium
This 1995 Basso Gap Ti is a 56cm titanium road bike with a genuinely interesting story. The frame was built by Litespeed in Tennessee during a short run they did for Basso, so it pairs American titanium craft with Italian road racing geometry. Titanium is the reason these bikes earn such a following. It does not rust, and it does not fatigue the way other metals do. A clean ti frame like this one rides just as well today as the day it was built. It has that lively, almost springy feel that titanium is loved for. It smooths out rough pavement without ever feeling dead. The frame is in excellent shape, with a clean finish, good decals, and no dents.
Since the original build, it has been updated with a full Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 group, which shifts crisply and brakes with real power. The Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels are light and stiff, so the bike feels quick when you accelerate. It also has a Campagnolo Record carbon seatpost, FSA carbon bars, and a carbon fork to take the edge off the road. It has been fully tuned and is ready to ride. This is the kind of bike that gets people hooked on road riding, and a great pick for anyone who appreciates titanium and wants a frame with real history under them. It has been cared for, and it is ready for its next chapter with a rider who will love it.

A 56cm Basso Gap fits most riders between about 5'9" and 6'1" (175 to 185 cm). It has a classic road racing position, so you sit lower and leaned in for efficient riding. Titanium has a feel road riders love, lively but not harsh, so it stays comfortable on long days.
