{"product_id":"basso-diamante-sv-disc-frameset","title":"Basso Diamante SV Disc Frameset","description":"\u003cp\u003eBasso’s  Diamante SV Disc Frameset was designed alongside its rim brake brother. That  they knew this was coming meant that Basso thought about how to design for both  rim and disc brakes before committing to their shapes and lay-ups. As a result,  this Disc version not only shares a geometry, but the frame shapes as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the  rim brake version, they employ a mix of Torayca carbon-fiber plies, including  their high modulus T1000 and T800 cloth. The lay-up has been altered, with  plies moved around to different places, and a few added to better deal with the  stresses of disc braking. But the overall result is largely the same. A great  riding, light, aero road bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight. Aero  shaping typically adds some weight to improve aerodynamics and retain stiffness  frame stiffness. They need more material to get the elongated shapes, and since  the elongated shapes are often in opposition to the needs of propelling a  bicycle, even more material needs to be added. At 890g for an unpainted 53  frame, and 400g for the fork, they only added a little weigh from their rim  version and are still pretty light for an aero bike regardless of braking  method. Then again, their more traditional Diamante is only 790g for the frame.  And the two frames share the same torsional stiffness values at the bottom  bracket and head tube. This is due to both the frame shaping as well as the  wide BB86 bottom bracket shell and 1 1\/8” to 1 ½” tapered steerer tube. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aero  shaping is both dramatic and subtle. When seen from the side, the bike almost  looks traditional. But the head tube and fork legs are shaped to smoothly move  the wind around them, the fork crown smoothly blends into the downtube, the  downtube is a modified Kamm Tail design with is lowered and almost U-shaped to  better shroud bottles and fight torsional flex, and the seat tube is shaped to  shroud the rear wheel. The shortened seat stays are aero shaped and also mean  that the Kamm Tail seat tube has less turbulence behind it, and the less  support adds vertical compliance at the top of the seat tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt every  point of the bike, you’ll find things that improve on what you’ve come to  expect as standard. The proprietary seat post, 350mm long with 15mm of setback  and with measurement markings on the back, is U-shaped and goes into the frame  through an elastomer. The gasket damps road vibrations and sits above the  integrated three-bolt fixing system they’ve designed. These bolts sit flush  with the back of the seat tube. The shaping is such you can fit 28mm tires  without issue, impressive for such short chainstays, opening up road choices,  and long-distance comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike is  set up with internal cable routing, capable of running mechanical or electronic  shifting and hydraulic or cable actuated braking. The requisite stops and plugs  come with, and your run the battery for wired electronic systems inside the  seat tube. The brake attachment method is flat mounting and the max rotor size  is 160mm. Basso includes their own front and rear thru-axles with levers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame  comes with a Basso stem and a customizable head tube complete with spacers. The  stem angle is -11 degrees and the lengths come as follows: size 45 frame comes  with a 100mm stem, the 48 a 100, 51 a 110, 53 a 110, 56 a 110, 58 a 120, 61 a  120. Reading the geometry chart, you’ll notice that the head tube is relatively  short. That’s assuming you are running your stem slammed or nearly slammed. The  frame comes with Basso’s Kit Comfort System, which includes three 5mm spacers  and a the Kit Comfort head tube extender, which raises the effective head tube  length by 20mm, as it provides you with a taller cup into which you install the  upper headset bearing. And with this installed, you can then add the 15mm of  spacers. The result is a single frame that has 35mm of flexibility in terms of  where your stem sits. You can run the stem slammed to get the head tube length  in the spec sheet, and then add spacers up to 15mm. If you want the head tube  to be 20mm higher than the spec sheet, add the Kit Comfort. Then you can put  spacers on top of that. This way, the frame works for those who prefer the  super-low position of a pro or a more upright position favored by the less-flexible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Basso  Diamante SV Disc is both super aero and a reliable stopper in all conditions,  with plenty of room for larger tires to add efficiency and dial in the comfort. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basso","offers":[{"title":"51cm \/ Black \/ Anthracite","offer_id":43507862700076,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD51BA","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"53cm \/ Black \/ Anthracite","offer_id":43652082171948,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD53BA","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"56cm \/ Italia","offer_id":43652082237484,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD56IT","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"56cm \/ Black \/ Anthracite","offer_id":44029671440428,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD56BA","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"53cm \/ Pastel White","offer_id":44029671604268,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD53PW","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"56cm \/ Pastel White","offer_id":44029671637036,"sku":"B8-DIAMANTESVD56PW","price":1999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/basso-diamante-sv-disc-frameset-4765602.jpg?v=1771302252","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/basso-diamante-sv-disc-frameset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
