Probably crazy expensive and you can do just about as much with
something that cost much less. My guess is these will be over $5k

Well, your neighbor or riding partners don't have one. So
there's that.

Though considering the price point and type of bike probably not many other
C68 or so on around either even in affluent suburbs of London while do see
them they are a rarity.

Gets a fairly good review though.



Really not my type of bike!

I notice the 5 year guarantee and laugh a bit. My Titanium Habby had a
guarantee of 5 years too. Ny guess is now 8 years later it will still
outlive the Basso? In 8 years everyone slows down even he pros. You
would think they would go to Ti in retirement, I still think it is the
best bike frame.

My 1953 Raleigh was sold with a lifetime guarantee. It did
last the previous owner's lifetime, and will probably
outlive me.

What do you suppose could fail on my new old-stock Basso Loto?

No way to know. Every crash is an unique collection of
chaotic forces with varying direction, load, contact points
and so on plus secondary impacts.

I was once charmed by the idea of a titanium frame, mostly because it's
likely to never fail, never corrode. But the Cannondale's 6061 Aluminum
has worked out well, except for one "failure": It needed its paint
replaced after only 30-something years.
