We started Bassi Bikes in 2009 to be able to ride and build the fixed-gear track bikes of our dreams, and we wound up producing three editions of Montreal’s belovedRoma-Tokyoframe over the years. Twelve years later, we still love singlespeed bikes and we miss that first frame of ours.
Now, meet the Bloomfield: a track frame ready for how we ride in our cities. The same simple, elegant lines and fun, zippy ride as theRoma, with affordance for everything we love to have on our bikes these days. Call it a chimera of a track bike and a commuter: it’s even compatible with two different wheel sizes!
Straight fork and agile geometry
Forged horizontal dropouts in 120mm spacing, for real track hubs
Front and rear rim brake mounts
Hidden eyelets for racks and fenders
Bottle cage eyelets
Use 650B x 45mm wheels with long-reach brakes for comfort and chill steering
Use 700C x 28mm wheels with mid-reach brakes for speed and quick steering
1" threaded fork for use with threaded headsets and quill stems
We look forward to seeing your Bloomfields with track drops and slicks one day and big tracklocross tires and racks the next!

GEOMETRY
* all measurements are in mm except for angle measurements which are in degrees
Colours are not necessarily representative when viewed on a screen. Please be prepared to accept slight differences in hue from the colours you see here.
This colour is a difficult one to accurately photograph and convey on the screen. It's a bit more purple indoors, but in daylight it's a white with a drop of purple in it. Imagine a fairly white lilac tree.
Please note that the lowest set of eyelets on the fork and on the seatstays are for fenders only. They are not meant to bear the load of a rack.
