The Basso Palta III is built for riders who want one bike to do it all, and this build for a customer in Zurich, Switzerland keeps that versatility front and center. He came to us with a clear starting point: a Palta III frame kit in Carbon Chrome, built up as a complete bike but without a wheelset, so he could fit the wheels he already owned. We paired the frame with Basso's own Fuga cockpit and a straight seatpost for a clean, purposeful setup, finished with an Apidura top tube and frame bag for longer days off the beaten path, and SRAM Force XPLR AXS E1 to handle whatever the terrain throws at it. A build kept simple where it counts, ready for paved roads and gravel alike.
