Memento Mimosa M Complete Bike

Check out Julian's take on what Memento's Mimosa can be!

The Mimosa is a frame handmade right here in Montréal, custom welded to C&L's spec with plenty of help from Memento's frame designer and head welder, Éliane. The idea is fat 650B tires with triple cranks, rim brakes, elegant lines, and a pretty wild paint job (orange like an orange, with a texture like an orange!). You'll be able to shred some pretty rugged roads and some trails, while having a bike practical enough for some real bikepacking adventures.

In this case we built it up classy like, with complementary colour accents, the famous Nitto Bullmoose bars, and the beloved Shimano DXR V-Brakes, with of course thumbies shifting a 3x9, the world's most reasonable transmission.
