Just had a Basso frame out for building and decided to juxtapose it against a small Colnago bike. 49-50cm Colnago "Super", 64cm Basso "Gap".

64cm frame must be for someone > 6'5"?

The stem on the Colnago would be more fitting for me if riding that Basso frame since it is only 60mm. Changing it to a 120-130mm after some riding on it with it as purchased; felt a little cramped. I would use the Basso stem, but the customer wants it.

what's the largest frame you have worked with?
