Such a great looking bike. Not usually into frames where the stem is recessed like that... but it works here.

Stunning! I've been drooling over the '15 Diamante lately. This is superbly done.

Erm... Wow! That is stunning. Curiously I think it looks better on the Mavic's - the LW's somehow make the wheelbase look shorter and the frame taller. Stunning though!

is available on bassobikes.com, but be carefully, that stem is quite heavy. Mine comes in with 196g (110mm)

That stem is beautiful indeed.

Bike looks really good together, well balanced. Zipp handlebars always give a nice finish too.

Thanks and I'm glad I could help you in making an excellent decision! I've had mine for almost a year and have no regrets. Best bike I've ever ridden. Here's what she currently looks like, although tyres are now Veloflex Corsas:

What Samuel Sanchez said, a very nice bike but an even more nicely balanced build. Looks very good. Please do tell us more when you have had a chance to put on a few more kms...

Looks Great! What's the height of the wheels? 38mm? Thinking about a pair of bora 35 as in-between size of ksyrium and lightweights
