Description
An ambitious interpretation of a track frame as a commuter bike
Montreal-based C&L CYCLES founded BASSI in 2009 to create a track bike frame named Roma-Tokyo, a dream of theirs. The C&L crew still loves single speed bikes with all their hearts and misses their first frame.
The Bloomfield was born. BASSI believes that this track frame is the ideal track frame for city riding in Montreal and most cities in the world.
It is a very flexible track frame with simple and elegant tubing lines, a fun and nimble ride, and everything you could ask for in a modern bike.
A chimera between a track bike and a commuter, the Bloomfield is a 650b x 45mm tire clearance that makes pavement bumps a thing of the past.
While a track bike is supposed to be a blisteringly fast ride through the city, this bike is more suited for a laid-back, relaxed ride.
It has a front basket and fenders. And a track bike with cantilever brakes?
Isn't it the best?
