The Basso Viper is an excellent example of just how much love, thought, and effort the company puts into their steel designs. Using chromoly that they have sourced from Mannesmann in Germany for the tubes, Basso has made the Viper to be the type of bike that will be perfect for anyone who loves steel frames; whether you are a weekend warrior or want to strike out on multi-day adventures, the Viper has been developed to work well in whichever endeavor you choose.
