Commuter, Touring, Cyclocross: A well-balanced frameset that can be freely customized to suit your ideas
The Montréal has long been ridden as an unofficial bike only among a select group of friends, but due to growing demand from cyclists living in Montréal, it was officially adopted as a BASSI model.
Since its release in 2013, the Montréal has been one of our most popular frames and is known for its versatility. Inspired by classic touring bikes from the 1980s, the Montréal features fender mounts, rack eyelets, three bottle cage mounts, and a shoulder strap.The wheel size is proportional to the frame size, and the bike is designed to be easy to control and tailored to the rider’s physique. Additionally, by increasing the stiffness of the seat stays and top tube, the frame not only enhances load-carrying capacity but also creates flex, delivering a smooth ride and robust durability.
It’s ideal as a geared bike for weekend rides and commuting, and—true to Bassi’s love of single-speed bikes—it’s also an interesting frame that can be built as a single-speed.
