Italian design is famous the world-over - and Basso's passion for excellence is reflected in the quality of the final product. Each frame takes three hours to paint. No less than six layers of paint are used, each applied by hand, with a special anti-UV and scratch resistant outer layer.

We have built and ridden a number of Basso frames in 2010, the Astra producing a great value top end complete bike with great handling, fantastic climbing capabilities and great comfort - ideal for cyclosportive racing and summer training in the UK. We are also very impressed with the Fast Cross cyclocross frameset, a fantastic cyclocross bike which can more than hold it's own on the road against all but the top end road frames (fantastic for those looking for some comfort on the UK roads in the winter!).

The range includes the road frames - Diamante (amazing top end road bike), Astra, Laguna, Reef and Devil then two cyclocross frames the Fast Cross (carbon frame) and Devil Cross. The Astra, Diamante and Fast Cross can be built as custom bike builds or available frame only.

Below are a few images and specs of some recent custom builds.
