Basso doesn't make a zero offset for the diamanté so we are stuck I guess. I too have a 110 stem but may get a 100 soon

Basso + maap cycling kit is one of the best combination.

Happy to find this review as I am considering a 2018 Diamante. Curious to know how these hold up and any updates on ride quality, feel, etc. over the past 5 years? I'm sure there are other updates in the frames from 2018 to current, but the one thing that has me questioning the 2018 model is the newer the 3B seatpost clamp that is supposed to help with road vibrations.

So 2021, you plan to do the same ride with the new Basso? Looks like you lost some weight Edwin!

Bill,
it's hard to find Campagnolo SR12 EPS piece by piece parts. I doubt the SV will be finish by summer. oh that was last summer I gain it all back this past winter !

I decided to jump in and get one. I've only done a couple rides so far, getting things sorted. I bought it without wheels as I had an extra set, but will be looking to upgrade them. Otherwise, it's a super smooth ride. I'm really impressed with my first carbon bike!
