Thanks very much

Beautiful bike! Well done.

You seem to have good photographic skills - it could be nice to see a side shot without all the reflections in the frame.

Thanks! I've tried it several times. It's not an easy job. Until now I wasn't able to take one without reflections.

Basso Diamante stem, although I'm not sure how you get it without buying the whole bike.

you can order it from Basso directly http://shop.bassobikes.com/en-UK/stem-b ... -copia.php

Yeah, it can be really tricky with reflections. Maybe if you try a cloudy day and work with layers - underexposing one of them ...

I've tried it already while cloudy, sunny, direct light, etc. But I did not try to underexpose individual layers. I'll try it out, thanks!

You're welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing the result

haha, 3t and deda, made in italy? great joke!

i willingly consider using a bar with the best-fitting ergonomics. as the case maybe, it is not made in the, äähm.., italian department of taiwan.

I really like the stem as well and bought it directly from Basso. However, it will be tricky to fit it on a standard headset as it is made for the Basso set specifically. Also, it is quite wide and incredibly heavy. If I had a Basso I would use only this stem regardeless of the weight. For any other bike I believe there are other / better options

How about shortening the handlebar drops by 2-3cm? I'm using the Zipp SL bars on all my bikes and found that the flat section in the drops is just too long. Shortening it also improves aesthetics a lot.

That' why one should take Tour tests with a grain of salt.

Or they just also take into consideration the category of the given frame?

Ie.: the corones was against other budget-low cost alloy bikes, and the 2.5 score for the frameset is calculated against its competitors, whereas the Diamante&Protoss were both regarded as top-notch race crabonfibre frames.

I really luw this build, the H'bars match pretty well with the style of the frame&low setup.

please have a

Hi Michel i'm considering buying the diamante but i'm unsure in terms of Frame size (58 or 61) Your framesize is 58.? can you share your inseam length and height? I have a 91/193cm measurement of inseam length/height.

Hi, my inseam length is 87, height ist 188. I'm currently using 1cm spacer below the stem.

cheers Michel
