Commuter, Porter, Randonneur, Touring, Cyclocross... A well-balanced frameset with freedom
Located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, C&L CYCLES founded BASSI/ Bassi in 2009 and has been producing track bikes and classic touring frames.
The Montréal has long been an unofficial bike, ridden only by its peers.
Since its release in 2013, the Montréal has become one of the most popular and versatile frames. Since its release in 2013, the Montreal has become the most popular frame and is known for its versatility.
Inspired by the classic touring bikes of the 1980s, the Montreal features fenders, eyelets for racks, a three-point bottle cage, and shoulder straps. Wheel size is proportional to frame size, designed to make the bike more controllable for the rider's physique.
In addition, the seatstays and top tube have been stiffened to not only increase load carrying capacity, but also to create sinew for a softer, more robust ride.
It is also a great frame to treat as a geared bike for weekend rides or commuting, and like Bassi's love of single speed, it is also an interesting frame to build in a single gear.
