Baum new model with new internal method

[robertbb]

$24,950 AUD.

Hmm, let me consider. The Baum or:

A) Fitting my whole house with new double glazed windows
B) Re-modelling the entire kitchen including new Italian appliances
C) A second car for our one car family
D) A high quality solar system for the house

Hello? Baum? Yeah I'd like to place an order...

I guess that is where the bespoke bike industry is gonna go. A few 20k builds a months should pay the bills.

These might be the musings of a Wall Street banker after his 200K yearly bonus/stock sale.

Hmm, let me consider. The Baum or:

A) Just bought my third house in Aspen. Should I buy two snowmobiles for the 2 weeks that I am there yearly?
B) Should I re-remodel my Italian kitchen with German appliances?
C) Second Panamera for my son's GF?
D) A solar panel for my second house in Seattle even though the sun came up only 30 days this past year?

What the heck, Baum it is. With the money I save, I'll just go Down Under to pick it up.

What kind of star, and how many planets can your house fit?



Which evokes the old Steven Wright line:

"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?"

With the folks who buy Baums, the price is a feature.

[duff_duffy]

Well, I was frankly trying to figure out what the marketing BS with this bike meant…ChatGPT to the rescue:
The bike is super cool and easy to ride. It's like a shiny new toy that's really smooth and nice. It has a simple front part where you hold on, like holding hands with a friend. And even though it's new, it still looks fancy and timeless, like a beautiful picture in a book.

I think even funnier for 20k I want a Modern Classic, not a Moden Classic

[prototoast]

Kevin Systrom bought a Baum after he sold Instagram to Facebook. I don't think he was phased by the price.

[cash05458]

absurd price...f+++k...will just keep pounding my MXLeader...the odd thing is prices like that to me anyhow means these folks are just kinda anti getting folks to ride bikes...whatever...

[fignon's barber]

This Baum looks very nice in the pictures. But I'm numb to all these expensive bikes. I get the same sensations when I ride a $3K bike or a $6K bike.

[Mikej]

Price aside, I wonder if he patented the design?
Also, prices have continually went up. I actually put windows in my house in 1997 for….$1700

You'd have to be a fool to buy that hack without seeing some serious safety testing figures from Baum.

Good point, I wonder if the fork can stand up to a non channelled fork in a strength / cyclic / impact test. I will say every thing about Baum seems to be absolutely top notch, like #1 as far as builders go.
