Basso Diamante EPS Build
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Cheers guys, Not too keen on swapping to carbon bars but will have a look around. In regards to proportions of bike, Iv seen a lot worse proportions to this a lot of people have heaps more saddle to bar drop than this and lets face it, low is pro.
Looks amazing. Well done. Great to see another Diamante on here.

Bike looks killer but the weight seems super high to me. That frame and seat post must weigh like a brick. I have the same wheels on my Emonda (actually weighed 1,010grams) and my (size 58) is 700 grams lighter than yours overall? I'd expect yours to be much lighter. Still, does look awesome!

The bike looks pro, proportions are nice and aggressive. Do you always say the same thing twice, expecting a different response?

for the everywhere-popular "pro-look", the saddle is positioned much too far forward (frame has a 75° sa!)
i either am not the biggest fan of those excessively-deep front sections (and i barely see real pro-bikes being adjusted like that), nevertheless all in all very nice bike, out of question.

I gotta ask, what's the slammed stem "mentality"? For me it's a fit requirement.
