BASSI RACHEL FRAME

The Bassi Rachel Frame is a beautifully crafted step-through frame that combines style and functionality for riders who want a practical yet elegant bike. Named after the street where Bassi's flagship store is located, this frame has been updated with several improvements to make it even better suited for long-distance touring and cargo hauling.

The Rachel is designed to provide comfort and durability on both short city rides and extended journeys. With beefed-up tubing, increased tire clearance, a longer wheelbase, and a raised front end, this frame offers a more stable and comfortable ride. Whether you're riding with swept-back handlebars or carrying heavy loads, the Rachel will handle it with ease.

The step-through design also makes the Rachel a fantastic option for carrying cargo. The rear triangle’s extra tubes help reduce flex, making it easier to load up your bike without sacrificing comfort or style. Stepping through the frame is also a much smoother and more elegant way to mount your bike, especially when carrying panniers.

The Rachel frame is available in two smaller sizes designed for 26" wheels and two larger sizes with 700c wheels. The color options include the rich Fondue Brown and soft Monet Baby Blue.
