Sarto - true italian bike!
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Posting it for the first time.
Ever since I started spending more time on weight weenies my eagerness to get something Italian grew exponentially. But I always wanted to go with something conspicuous to avoid prying eyes and most importantly to avoid yet another Colnago or Bianchi or Pinarello discussion during the group rides. One of the reason was every third person in Singapore having those brands (Asians love Brands, myself including). Spent hours searching for info and read about manufacturing, probably a topic for some other day. Idea was to go full Italian regardless of what people say. Finally, the day came when I pushed myself to take the credit card out and order the damn bike..
Not many pictures at the moment, but here are some details:
1. Bike Frame - Sarto Seta Plus (British racing green with white/silver mix)
2. Groupset - Campagnolo Super record EPS 12 speed
3. Campagnolo WTO 45 with Veloflex Race TLR
4. Favero Assioma - Power Meter
5. Saddle - Berk Lupina (changed from original carbon saddle made by Sarto guys)
6. Lights - Garmin Varia (both front and back)
7. Seat post - Custom painted by Sarto (looks like Deda)
8. Handlebar - Custom painted by Sarto (looks like Deda)
9. Stem - Ursus custom painted to match the frame
Most importantly it rides like a dream compared to my other bike - S Works Venge 2020. Really happy with the purchase and really tempted to get their Asola model as well.

Very nice!
I would have preferred Campagnolo Super Record EPS 12 on my builds, just too expensive.

Looks great, hope to catch you in the road some day! Certainly an Italian bike that others will want to ask you about.

Just about dream components all along the build.
What's the weight?
Also interestingly, on Sarto's website, the Seta+ looks to have a more sloping top tube than does yours, which looks just about perfectly horizontal. Is it a custom geometry?

Thanks a lot. Yes it is a custom geometry, slope is gentle and may not be that evident from the picture.
Weight is 7.4kg with everything - including pedals, mount, Bottle cages etc.

Thanks, I have pretty much stopped riding my Venge after riding this. Fast enough and most importantly comfortable.

Very very nicely built bike!
I'm definitely more a fan of metal bikes, but if I ever invest in a carbon frame again it will most likely be a Sarto.
