    That Basso is rank...if SsangYong made a bike, that would be it.

    Does it come in black?

    Looks slightly better with the extra bits used at the headset and not slamming the stem. That frame in Plastik's pictures looks like a massive frame which doesn't help. I'd still prefer a Basso Loto.:p

    The race machine getting ready for some use for the first time in a long time. Truly an image of beauty!

    Big ring
    No bottles
    Small sprocket at the back
    Right crank in forward position
    Better quality pic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,318 ✭✭✭✭Raam


    Not to mention; matching bottle cages.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,338 ✭✭✭Lusk_Doyle


    It was in storage. The kitchen was dark. The bottle cage broke in transit...
    Almost an image of beauty then!

    She is lovely. If only I knew how to pronounce Kuota. Quota? Kew-otta?

    As for the bar tape, white is a nightmare. I give 2 finger to convention, both of my bikes have white saddles and red bar tape. Red would look good on that bike.

    Agreed re. the white tape. I'd a Giant a few years back with it, total nightmare.

    But I'd go with black on this bike, it would look mean as hell with black IMO.

    Lovely bike indeed.

    Cheers man I just go with Kharma :D Hadn't considered red tape I have black here so I'll throw that on and see how she looks first.

    black tape makes all bikes look 100% more bad-ass. the white tape that came on my last bike didnt see the light of day.

    For me the matched stem looks wrong, I think the balance is upset with coloured stem and silver seatpost.

    The bar tape looks a bit botched and cheap. The pain job is great though.

    My ex frame. Nicely pimped up but I had Sram red bar tape on it. Looked well too. Good luck with it, you got a bargain there.
