A C&L x Memento collaboration ATB frameset, made in Montreal
Description
Memento Cycles' welder/designer/administrator-extraordinaire Éliane (also a Bassi long-distance rider from back in the day) was kind enough to take time out of their busy production schedule to co-design and manufacture this run of ATB/bikepacking go-anywhere frames for C&L, all done at their Montréal workshop. We can assure you that everything excellent and delightful about it is their doing, and all the weird stuff that may or may not work for you comes from our ridiculous requests.

Assembly tips
Some frames, such as Bassis, have an anti-rust E.D. coating covering inside and outside surfaces. This very thin coating is slick and hard - if your seatpost is very smoothly polished (like a Bassi or Nitto) there can be some slippage. You can add some carbon grip paste (available at all bike shops) or rough up the texture inside the seat tube with a hone or some fine sandpaper. You don't need to get down to the metal, just add some texture to the coating!
Modern frame manufacturers have excellent quality control, and great tooling to face and ream the head tube and bottom bracket, but some paint overspray can occur after fabrication. Consider adding the frame preparation labour add-on to ensure all the frame bearings are coplanar and coaxial, ensuring long service life.
