Looking for info on Sarto frames

[denapista]

Twohubs builds and sells a bunch of Sarto bikes.

Their website has lots of information on each frame and they even have frames on the sale rack.

Sartos are something of an insider-tipp on my side of the pond for those who don't want an expensive big marque factory bike, but want more lightness or performance than one can (presumably) get from the boutique steel-framemakers. Have heard nothing put praise from the owners. Sarto definitely knows his way around CF and knows how to make a brilliant racing bike.

i agree re: the comment of sarto models .. i perused site a while back and couldn't tell one from another or what the diff was. i suppose that's the value of a dealer... but i still think the site ought to help the end consumer some.

maybe it's a translation issue.. or a non-american marketing thing.

if anyone has insight into what are the diffs between the models i'd be interested to hear.

Yea, I'll admit it was about 4 years ago that I was looking at the Sartos, and that was about the time when I may have read that Basso's Carbon frames were Sarto-made.

Do you know if Basso makes their carbons in-house?

Their website shows photos and a video of parts of the production process and it seems to be in-house. Don't know if that applies to all the carbon or just the high end bikes. A few years ago I didn't like the graphics on their carbon bikes but the current ones look pretty nice.
