I saw a guy walking this bike from a coffee shop across the street a few weekends ago, and selfishly hoped he would lock it up nearby so I could take a picture of the beauty.

Isn't that pretty! My friend Ashley told me that "Basso" in Italian means low to the ground. I tried to get my head around the fact that this beautiful color combination now automatically makes me think of Prilosec (thanks a lot, branding), because it really is nice and does not deserve that association.
