Basso Diamante: Opinions?

[Wookski]

I am struggling to find any detailed reviews on this frame- anyone out there ridden a Basso Diamante and care to share their views?

Unfortunately German, but basically it says the following:
- true "Made in Italy", manufactured at Compositex
- excellent technical values as far as stiffness goes. Not really comfortable
- very aggressive geometry with a lot of weight on the front wheel due to the low position
- a bit too heavy but might be due to the paint on this one

see zappafile's review too. people seem to love it and the front end looks amazing with that low low stem position.
