Description
The Basso Astra frameset is the starting point for your own custom Basso. The Basso Astra is an endurance road bike built around real life. It keeps the sharp feel of an Italian race bike, but with calmer handling, a taller front end and room for 35 mm tyres, so it suits long training rides, gran fondos and the odd gravel road.
