Basso Diamante SV feels stiff and racy. It climbs flawlessly and very efficiently, but for double-digit gradients I would prefer my old Dedacciai Ran RS. However once I tilt it upside down, that's a completely different story. Smooth handling encourages me to constantly accelerate through the corners, while the noble and predictable nature of the Basso helps to take every turn with painstaking precision. Especially it is great fun on downhills. I love it. In general, the riding experience is just brilliant.

Wonderful build and I absolutely love this colorway!

just a little hint that you most likely already know yourself, change the skewers and you´ll be under 7 kg! :beerchug:
