Spotted the new Diamante this morning. It's really refreshing to see a brand release a bike that's just supposed to be 'a great road bike to ride':

Its nice, but seems to be a "merge" of the existing Diamante and the Diamante SV.
FWIW Im still in love with my "old" Basso Diamante, and not sure what extra this brings.
Im also saddened they have produced a "gravel bike" cos its what all the big US brands have.

I like this company and what they do. The new Diamante looks very nice and it would be interesting to have at least some test ride. As I'm already waiting for the Colnago C64 for quite a long time I'm out, but otherwise this bike or the Astra would be high on my list. Some of their paintjobs are also very appealing and they're also sometimes open to do some different ones from their past, or those they offer on other models.
It's a shame their brand awareness isn't very high. Maybe that's why they went the gravel bike route - try some luck there.
