both the Bassa and EV share the same rear fender, I think. Isnt the chrome trim on the rear shock area of the EV sturdier than the ducks head, and frame cover below the sidecover on the Bassa? I know on my aluminum, those pieces are like on the Bassa, and I have to baby them when I remove them, as they seem a bit fragile. Not a big deal, but if those chrome bling pieces on the ev are steel, not plastic, that would be better. I like the look of the wide, sweeping rear fender, and funky taillight housing of these bikes. They have an "art deco" like style only the Italians can pull off where it looks "right", IMHO. ;-T
I wish my Aluminum came with the sweet tubeless wheels of the Bassa and EV.
