Basu bikes made in Spain this is the Venter model actually a really really good price but let’s take a look at the Quality first up some lovely paintwork and they’ve even fitted a frame protector as standard nice touch and they’ve actually painted over the front Mech mounts as well which is quite nice to see um and in here this all looks very very clean there’s no sharp edges all looks nice and they have actually bothered to face this surface and this outer surface it does taper towards the back but not a place where it’s going to affect the bottom bracket installation so good work basso Mech hanger is super solid more frame protection this side looks nice and oh my God they’ve actually installed the brake adapter correctly with the right washers the right circlip the right size bolts that hardly ever happens and the brake mounts are flat oh my god I’ve just wet myself

They all seem to be coming back to Europe, I think BIANCHI is relocating to Italy in 2024 and it’s already increased their order book
Basso, are a great family run business.
If you can get your hands on one, you'll fall in love with the bike.
I really like the Diamante SV design wise. Plus the fact that they are actually manufacturing in Europe. Kudos to them. Nice to see that the quality is there as well.
Orbea is a spanish brand…
I have one, beautiful bike.
I have reservations about bike brands in terms of their origin and where the majority of their bikes and components are actually made.
Orbea from Spain, also make quality bikes but they don't have the same marketing prowess as other brand names.
Historically I can't think of any brand name from its country of origin (with the exception of China) that is successful in doing everything in-house as well as exporting.

Nice, £2599 off wiggle sound good?
What do you make of the proprietary Seatpost design and function? It put me off this frame
I had a Basso Steel bike many years ago I sold it bécause I had no place for all my bikes – Basso had the reputation to build high quality painting was far better than my Masi and Colnago bikes – no chrome (tube manufacturers prohibit chroming because of the whole process aggressive baths sanding etc)
Thus they are indestructible
I love my Basso Venta, never going to another brand
According to Basso the Venta frame is made in Italy.
Shock horror,and round holes are round?
Making something properly should be a given imho but good to see.
Are Basso anything to do with Ivan Basso?
Their frames are great, their wheels aren't, I've seen multiple wheelset that make a creaking noise because the spokes rub
I’ve ordered a Basso Palta frame set, I’ve had a call from my LBS and it is due next week
Started watching your videos along with hambini’s recently, huge insight into how bad some manufacturers are with QC on bottom brackets. Nice to see there’s still good stuff available
My wife has a venta and the paint quality is horrible the rest of the bike is fine.
Theres youre problem right there pressfit and disc brakes👎
I have a Basso Venta as well and it´s been a very lovely bike so far. Made in Italy carbon bike, a reasonable price, excellent quality. Had a budget left over for a saddle and wheel upgrades. And I have a matching blue Basso Gap from the 90s. Love this brand!
State of the industry where correctly faced surfaces and decent paintwork is incredible and not the benchmark
is this spanish or italian?
Hambini time?
The Italians generally make lot of verry good mecánics.
Well basso a former dopper (performance drugs) I would not buy this brand and besides why have a bike with someone’s name sorry my option.
Italian bikes are great but why are you showing a bike made in Spain?
Press X to doubt.
X
Lmao
O.k. then. Who produces the Venta model on contract for Basso in Spain? Is it the same factory which produces bikes for Orbea or BH? That is the way of the bike industry. Also, why was a brake mount adapter needed? Cheers.
I used to have a steel Basso. Super comfy ride. Glad to see the company is still doing well.
Great to see a more family orientated business making quality products. Nice that it's all done 'at home' witth hem as well. Brilliant
None of Basso frames are made in Italy. They are all made in China but painted and value-added in Italy. They are scamming everyone.
Every part of basso bikes is made in house in Italy even the laying of the carbon they oversee every step
The short distance to the rear mech is terrible if you go mechanical with these .They are clearly made for electronic shifting
Electric bikes i don't like. They are defeating the purpose of a push bike to keep you fit 💪
