Got $21,000? This Baum is ready and in stock!

[nmrt]

Just got an email from Above Category where they list bikes that are in stock and ready for purchase. Some really nice lookers out here. Check it out. BTW, I am not affliliated with AC. I just admire the nice looking bikes they build. If you look closer, you'll see an "old" Baum MTB for just $4000.

For $21k, surely they could find a better place to take a photo. What's that, a parking garage?

Haha and we all know how unsafe detached garages are in SF from the other thread.

If you look closely, you will see "holes" in the walls.
On weekends, AC allows peasants to take a "peek" at these beauties for a nominal charge.

Bikes like that remind me of the time I was waiting at my local uber high-end boutique bike shop to pay for some Assos gloves, and the guy in front of me at the register was taking possession of his brand new fully blinged-out top-of-the-line halo bike (I forget what brand...maybe Parlee or S-Works?) and moments after I noticed the number at the bottom of his invoice -- $15,000.00 -- I hear him ask the clerk "Oh yeah, and what should I do if it gets wet?"





Not saying I wouldn't jump at the chance to own one...

AC stands for...

Absurd Checkbook?

Back when Whole Foods hadn't absorbed them, my sisters called Bread & Circus Bread&Checkbook. Now it's Whole Checkbook.
