Bassi Bassi Montreal Frameset | XL / 58CM | 700c

Le Montréal is most popular frameset and the most versatile. Whether built up as a commuter, porteur, randonneur, touring, or cyclocross cycle, its 4130 Chromoly frame balances style and function. Inspired by classic 1980s touring bikes, Le Montréal features eyelets for front and rear fenders and racks, three bottle cages, and eyelets for our signature shoulder strap.
New features for the Montréal V3

Oversized tubes on all sizes for better stability with a touring load (or your kid) on the rear of the bike
Extra bottle cage mount under the downtube (that's three total)
More rooms for wide tires, up to 45mm on all sizes (with fenders!)
Reduced toe overlap by using three wheel sizes across the range, also making the bicycles more proportional to the rider for more pleasant handling
46cm and 49cm for small riders use 26" wheels
52cm and 55cm for average riders use 650B (27.5") wheels
58cm and 61cm (our largest frame yet!) use 700C (28") wheels
A return to diagonal dropouts, for singlespeed fans
The stiffened seatstays and top-tube not only increase its load-carrying ability, they also contribute to adding some spring to its step.
